What is meant by "Wiki" in the forums

[danvonberlin]

In the printing forums, "wiki" is commonly used as a reference i.e.:

"I will add this to the Wiki FAQ when a bit more information is available"
"I saw on the 5000 Wiki that someone noticed no difference between 6x9 prints..."
"Some of the folks on Wiki have said these tiny white specks may..."

What is meant by "Wiki" - Surely not wikipedia.org? Or does it?

From typing "define:wiki" into Google:

A wiki is a web application that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content. Wiki also refers to the collaborative software used to create such a website (see Wiki software).

You might have tried going to the web site being mentioned (I spent maybe 20 seconds doing a Google search on IPF5000 wiki to find it); it would have eliminated your need to start this unnecessary thread. The site URL is also posted in the printer forum.

Posting a new thread WAS necessary, as the hundreds of search results in the printer forum and elsewhere never mentioned the site URL you posted. "Wiki" was used as a general term, a destination and even a verb. And why would I have googled "IPF5000 wiki" when that was not the question I was asking? None-the-less, clarification noted.
