Wiki-Pages
A Wiki is a tool that allows a group of users to easily edit linkable content, allowing for effective collaborative writing. In a Wiki , you as a user create pages linked to specific terms or keywords. You can use these terms in other Wiki pages, which will reference the pages they are linked to, creating a self referencing information pool. In technical detail, it's a process of creating HTML pages, combined with a database which keeps track of each individual's changes.
Sakai Wiki tool lets authorized users create pages, and allows all users to view pages and see which pages have been recently changed or added.

Step 2: Click on “ Edit ” below the title bar.

Notes on Creating a Wiki Page
Once you have a few existing Wiki pages, you can create a new page by placing “[“ and “]” around any word or term in the Wiki . In addition, placing these brackets around words with existing Wiki pages will link to those pages automatically.
