What is a Wiki?
A Wiki is a web-based platform that enables users to create and modify content collaboratively.[1] The term 'Wiki' originated in the Hawaiian language, meaning 'fast' or 'quick' and its usage on the Internet implies that one can quickly and efficiently create and modify knowledge bases.
Where are Wiki's Used?
The most famous example of a Wiki is Wikipedia, the massive encyclopedia website that is also user-editable. Hundreds of thousands of Wiki's, both public and private, exist on the Internet. The same complex software that runs Wikipedia runs this site.
What can you do here?
- Look around, see what's here. You can look at some categories below or use the search bar above. Check out the All Pages list.
- Create an Account to get started. This will allow you to add content and make edits. Page creation is disabled for now but you can send an email to suggest a new page.
- Look at existing pages to get layout ideas. Check out Sussex Central's school page for examples on how you might want to structure your own school's page.
- Search for information using the search bar at the top of every page.
Guidelines
- Feel free to be the one to post and edit information. This is a user-editable site that will improve only if individuals get involved; don't wait for someone else to do it.

- If you are unsure how to actually contribute, check out these Help Pages:
