wiki
Crowd-edited site
A wiki is a website that allows users to collaboratively create and edit content directly through their browsers.
The term comes from Hawaiian for "quick," reflecting the ease of making changes.
Wikipedia is the most famous example, but wikis serve countless organizations for documentation and knowledge sharing.
To wiki something can mean to look it up on Wikipedia or to edit a wiki page.
