Wiki

A Wiki is a piece of software that allows users to create, edit and link the pages of a website. Thus, one user could make changes that are seen by the rest of the users. Such software distributes the responsibility of managing the website, therefore decreasing the workload per person. However, it could also cause concerns related to the authenticity of content due to erroneous or malicious edits. Wikis are used to create community websites and their use by web businesses is increasing, especially in fields that involve knowledge management. Wikipedia is an example of a free, online encyclopaedia that runs on Wiki software.

It should probably be wiki, and not Wiki.
