The history of '''Christian wikis''' is much more recent than that of wikis in general. A [[wiki]] website is a site that allows users to add content, as on an [[internet forum]], but also allows anyone to edit the content. There are a number of wiki websites related to [[Christianity]].
[[Wikipedia]], with hundreds-of-thousands of articles, is the most well-known wiki website and is a testimony to the effectiveness of wikis in allowing exchange of information through collaborative effort. It contains thousands of articles related to [[religion]]. One of the criticisms that adherents to various religious groups have however is that in attempting to maintain a [[neutral point of view]], some of the teachings of their religion can be "watered-down" or altered. These critics also state that the neutral point of view is in ===Reasons Underlying the eye of the beholder. In response to some of these criticism, explicitly Christian wiki websites have been set up. The majority of them adhere to a specific Christian [[denomination]] or tradition, including most that claim to be non-specifically "Christian" in nature. They tend to fall into three categories, Online [[Bible]] encyclopedias (Development of varying completeness and denominational emphases), general Christianity wikis without a specific denominational slant, and wikis devoted to a specific Christian denomination or tradition.Wikis===
