A wiki ˈwiː.kiː <wee-kee> or also ˈwɪk.i <wick-ey>, according to Howard Cunningham is a website that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows others (often completely unrestricted) to edit the content.

This meaning should not be confused with the term wiki in the sense of wiki engine, the software used to create such a website.

In essence, the wiki is a vast simplification of the process of creating HTML pages, and thus is a very effective way to exchange information through collaborative effort. wiki is sometimes interpreted as the abbreviation for 'what I know, is', which describes the knowledge contribution, storage and exchange up to some point.

Wiki with an upper case W and WikiWikiWeb are both used to refer specifically to the first wiki ever created (25 March, 1995). The WikiWikiWeb is, like the Portland Pattern Repository, a section of a Portland, Oregon, web site operated by the company Cunningham
