History: Wiki

            !Wiki 


Unlike other CMS's that add on a wiki as an afterthought, wiki is the heart and soul of the Tiki CMS. The wiki feature enables users to create and edit a virtually unlimited number of content pages, even if they don't know any HTML. 

__Why wiki?__ At first glance, a wiki can be thought of as a very easy-to-use tool for adding content to a web site -- but this view understates this feature's significance. Wikis are perhaps the most useful tool yet created for online teamwork and collaboration. reccomended uses include: ((todo)) lists, ((project management)), ((collaborative writing)) of procedures, manuals and memos, ((schedules)), ((User Pages)), and long term strategic ((planning)).  

Tiki's open source wiki is among the most stable and feature-rich  available, and it is integrated with the other communication tools in the CMS - you can use the same wiki-syntax in the articles, comments, forums and blogs, and linking back and forth across the different tools is a snap, making for seamless activity across multiple collaboration formats. 

!! Additional features: 
With Tiki you can: 
* __Use Permissions__ Restrict Wiki page-editing rights on specific pages or categories to registered users, or to more narrowly defined user groups, or to forbid page editing entirely, if you wish. 
*__Create Wikibooks__ using the structures feature, you can create book-like interface that guides through a series of pages in a specified order. 
* __Lock Pages__ Any individual Wiki page can be locked by the site admin or page author so that the content can't be altered. 
* __Monitor Important Pages__ You can monitor a page, which means that you're notified (via e-mail) whenever a change is made. 
*Using the history page, you can compare any two versions in a page's history and highlight the differences. 
*__Rank, Tag and Categorize pages__. 
* __Restore from Page Histories__ If someone messes up a page, not to worry. Tiki (again, like most Wiki packages) keeps a detailed history of all the changes made to a given page. Previous versions can be quickly restored -- typically, in less than one minute -- without having to fuss with backup tapes. 
*__Test users knowlege__ by adding quizzes or surveys. 
*__Add pictures, video, maps and sound__ - Tiki has plugins for integrating multimedia within wiki pages. 
*__Insert polls, forms, and articles__ - Tiki has a large library of plugins that add extra functionality to wiki pages. 
*__Paste into Word or Export to PDF__ - once a page is created it can be exported with it's formatting to a PDF document or pasted into Word.
*__Create pages within pages__ - do you want to create a page that draws its content from several other pages (all of which can be changing all the time)? Tiki does that. 
*__Let users self manage__ with user menus, internal messages, notes and todo's. learn more: ((Understanding_Wiki))
