A '''Wiki''' enables documents to be authored collectively in a simple markup language using a web browser.

== Meaning of Wiki ==

"Wiki wiki" means "super fast" in the Hawaiian language, and it is the speed of creating and updating pages that is one of the defining aspects of wiki technology. Generally, there is no prior review before modifications are accepted, and most wikis are open to the general public or at least to all persons who also have access to the wiki server.

The Moodle wiki module enables participants to work together on web pages to add, expand and change the content. Old versions are never deleted and can be restored.

This module is based on Erfurt Wiki.

== CamelCase Notation ==

What is a CamelCase notation?  Your very first CamelCase notation you will create will look like: 
 <nowiki>Create Wiki Page</nowiki>
When this is placed on the first Wiki Page, a "?" that is a link appears. Clicking on the link in this example will take us to a new blank page called "Create Wiki Page".  

CamelCase notations allows pages to be linked, indexes created for catagories, and all sorts of other organizational tools to make connections.  Here is the help section on CamelCase
