Overview
A wiki is any type of web site where inability to edit the contents is the exception rather than the rule. Exceptions are usually made either for certain types of edit (wikispam), for certain users who consistently violate the site's editorial policy, or for certain pages which tend to attract vandalism.
The term "wiki" is also obliquely used to refer to a collaborative philosophy in which the amount of hierarchy is reduced to a bare minimum, with users having to gain the consensual authority for any controversial actions solely by defending them in a convincing and reasonable way.
