This website is a wiki
Wikipedia defines a wiki as "a hypertext publication collaboratively edited and managed by its own audience directly using a web browser. A typical wiki contains multiple pages for the subjects or scope of the project and could be either open to the public or limited to use within an organization for maintaining its internal knowledge base".
wikimoma.art is powered by the MediaWiki wiki engine, and here is a link to MediaWiki's Help contents if you want to jump right in to details on specific tasks. We will, however, go on to give an introduction to using this particular wiki below.
A really good video
If you are very new to wiki's, this short video Wiki in Plain English gives a great explanation of what they are and how they work.
"Wikis are generally designed with the philosophy of making it easy to correct mistakes, rather than making it difficult to make them."
A bit of a hybrid
This wiki is a lot more structured than a traditional wiki and it is currently moderated; but because the idea is to have it open and to let it grow (and because it is a website powered by a wiki engine), it is still a wiki.
Work in progress
This page needs to be edited.
