Most people have only been exposed to [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wikis]] through reading [https://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], or perhaps a fan wiki like the [https://minecraft.wiki Minecraft wiki]. As a result, many people erroneously believe that "wiki" is just another term for an online [[Wikipedia:Encyclopedia|encyclopedia]]. The term "wiki" describes any website collaboratively edited and managed by its audience through a web browser. As a result, wikis are able to serve a variety of purposes beyond encyclopedias, including collective note-taking, code documentation, and project management. | Most people have only been exposed to [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wikis]] through reading [https://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], or perhaps a fan wiki like the [https://minecraft.wiki Minecraft wiki].
