The Delaware Wrestling History Wiki is a user-editable, collaborative site that allows any registered user to add and modify information. Crowd-sourcing ensures the most complete and accurate knowledge available on every topic on the Wiki. This site is not just a couple of admins posting information, it is everyone's role to pass on our history. Feedback is always welcome, you can either [mailto: info@dewrestlinghistory.com email] or start a [https://dewrestlinghistory.com/history/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&action=edit&redlink=1 discussion topic]. | |||
== All Pages == | |||
A list of all pages can be found here: [[Special:AllPages|All Pages]] | |||
== What is a Wiki? == | |||
A Wiki is a web-based platform that enables users to create and modify content collaboratively.<ref>https://bloomfire.com/resources/what-is-a-wiki/</ref> 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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia], the [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia|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. | |||
