The Delaware Wrestling History Wiki is a user-editable site that allows any registered user to add and modify information here. Crowd-sourcing ensures the most complete and accurate repository of 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.
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, MediaWiki, runs our site.
