2. What is a Wiki?
A wiki is a website that allows the creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor.
Wiki is unusual among group communication mechanisms in that it allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself.

3. What are Wikis for?
Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites, to power community projects, and, increasingly, in educational settings
Wikipedia - the free online encyclopedia - is the most famous example.

4. Advantages of a Wiki Any number of people can create and edit pages.
Wiki administrators lock pages that are not to be changed by users.
A history is kept of each version of each page, along with who made the version, and when it was made.

23. Choose automatic or manual navigation menu
By default, the easiest way to manage your navigation menu is to use the automatic navigation. It will simply list your pages alphabetically.
If you want to organize your pages in some other fashion, you will need to change to a manual navigation menu.

24. Automatic

25. Manual

26. Home page after manual

27. Decide on an organization
Think about your page and how you want it organized.
Your home page is the trunk of your tree.
Other pages branch off of that page, and can branch out further, as you like.
It is better to add and delete in this fashion than to have one continuous list of attached pages, which has little organization.
