 +====== What's a Wiki? ======
 +A **wiki** is a website that allows collaborative authorship of its content and structure directly from the web browser. In a typical wiki, text is written using a simplified markup language (known as "wiki markup"), and often edited with the help of a rich-text editor.
  
 +===== How a Wiki Works =====
 +**AxaMonitor** operates using wiki software known as a wiki engine. **AxaMonitor** uses the [[doku>DokuWiki]] platform, though there are dozens of different wiki engines in use, both standalone and part of other software, such as bug-tracking systems.
 +
 +===== How a Wiki's Organized =====
 +Wikis have little implicit organization; structure emerges according to the needs of the users.
 +The encyclopedia project [[wp>Main page|Wikipedia]] is by far the most popular wiki-based website, and is in fact one of the most widely viewed sites of any kind of the world, having been ranked in the top ten since 2007.
 +
 +There are at least tens of thousands of other wikis in use, both public and private, including wikis functioning as knowledge management resources, notetaking tools, community websites and intranets.
