Wiki



Unlike other CMS's that add on a wiki as an afterthought, wiki is the heart and soul of the Tiki CMS. The wiki feature enables users to create and edit a virtually unlimited number of content pages, even if they don't know any HTML. At first glance, a wiki can be thought of as an exceptionally easy-to-use tool for adding content to a web site — but this view understates this feature's significance. Wikis are, put simply, perhaps the most useful tool yet created for online teamwork and collaboration. There are dozens of companies charging monthly fees for hosted wiki services.

Tikiwiki's open source wiki is among the most feature-rich and stable available, and what is more, it is integrated with the other communication tools in the CMS - you can use the same syntax in the articles, comments, forums and blogs, and linking back and forth across the different tools is a snap, making for seamless activity across multiple collaboration formats.

Additional features: With tikiwiki you can: * Use Permissions Restrict Wiki page-editing rights on specific pages or categories to registered users, or to more narrowly defined user groups, or to forbid page editing entirely, if you wish. *Create Wikibooks using the structures feature, you can create book-like interface that guides through a series of pages in a specified order. * Lock Pages Any individual Wiki page can be locked by the site admin or page author so that the content can't be altered. * Monitor Important Pages You can monitor a page, which means that you're notified (via e-mail) whenever a change is made. *Using the history page, you can compare any two versions in a page's history and highlight the differences. *Rank, Tag and Categorize pages. * Restore from Page Histories If someone messes up a page, not to worry. TikiWiki (again, like most Wiki packages) keeps a detailed history of all the changes made to a given page. Previous versions can be quickly restored — typically, in less than one minute — without having to fuss with backup tapes. *Test users knowlege by adding quizzes or surveys. *Add pictures, video, maps and sound - tikiwiki has plugins for integrating multimedia within wiki pages. *Insert polls, forms, and articles - tikiwiki has a large library of plugins that add extra functionality to wiki pages. *Paste into Word or Export to PDF - once a page is created it can be exported with it's formatting to a PDF document or pasted into Word. *Create pages within pages - do you want to create a page that draws its content from several other pages (all of which can be changing all the time)? Tikiwiki does that. *Let users self manage with user menus, internal messages, notes and todo's. learn more: Understanding_Wiki
