From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
A wiki is a medium which can be edited by anyone with access to it, and provides an easy method for linking from one page to another. Wikis are typically collaborative websites, though there are now also single-user offline implementations.
A wiki enables documents to be written collaboratively. A defining characteristic of wiki technology is the ease with which pages can be created and updated, allowing participants to share and exchange information.
The Newark Museum Wiki:
Pages can be viewed by any visitor. However, The Newark Museum Wiki requires participants to register and login to a user account in order to edit or create pages, or upload images. In addition, modifications are reviewed before they are accepted and released.

Adding a page:
The easiest way to create a page is to go to the Discussion Tab of the page you are viewing. Click the plus sign (+) next to the Edit Tab. You will be asked to provide a Name and Subject for the new page.
Editing existing pages:
1. Click the edit page tab 2. Make changes to the text in the edit box. Make sure you write clearly and concisely, and make sure your edit does something to improve the page. If you're making normal changes to the text like fixing spelling mistakes or grammar, inserting new sentences, etc, then you don't have to worry too much about formatting. When you do need to use some type of basic formatting, highlight the text and click the appropriate formatting button at the top of the edit box. Optionally, enter a short note in the Summary box describing your changes. You can preview your changes with the Preview button. 3. Click the Save page button.
Discussion:
Every article has its own discussion page where you can ask questions, make suggestions, or discuss corrections. Click the discussion page tab to reach it. You can sign your message by writing 4 tildes (~). The wiki software turns them into the current time and your username or your current IP address if you are not logged in.
