wikiArticles

Wikiarticles are the fundamental units of content within a wiki. They are individual pages that collectively form the knowledge base of a wiki. Each wikiarticle can cover a specific topic, concept, person, place, or event. The defining characteristic of a wikiarticle is its collaborative and editable nature.

Users with appropriate permissions can create new wikiarticles or modify existing ones. This allows for a dynamic and community-driven approach to information sharing and knowledge building. Wikiarticles are typically linked to each other through hyperlinks, creating a web of interconnected information that makes it easy for users to navigate and explore related topics.

The structure of a wikiarticle can vary widely. Some may be short, brief definitions, while others can be extensive, detailed expositions. Common elements include an introductory paragraph summarizing the topic, followed by sections that delve into specific aspects. Images, tables, and other media can also be incorporated to enhance understanding. The open editing policy means that wikiarticles can evolve over time as new information becomes available or as the community refines the content. Disputes or differing viewpoints are often handled through discussion pages associated with each wikiarticle, providing a transparent process for resolving disagreements and improving accuracy.
