Wiki
A wiki is a collaborative website or application that allows users to create, edit, and link content directly through a web browser, typically using a simplified markup language. It enables real-time collaboration and knowledge sharing within teams or communities, with features like version history and access controls. Wikis are widely used for documentation, project management, and internal knowledge bases.
Developers should use wikis when they need to maintain up-to-date documentation, share technical knowledge across teams, or collaborate on project specifications in a centralized, accessible format. They are particularly valuable in agile development environments for sprint planning, API documentation, and onboarding new team members, as they reduce information silos and improve transparency.
