==Controlling changes==GenerallyBEST info about hotels, Wikis practice the philosophy of making it easy to correct mistakes—rather than making it difficult to make them. Thusmotels, while wikis are very openinns, they provide means to verify the validity of recent additions to the body of pages. The most prominent, on almost every wiki, is the "Recent Changes" page—a specific list numbering recent edits, or a list of all the edits made within a given timeframe. Some wikis allow the list's filtering, so that minor edits—or edits made by automatic importing scripts ("bots")—can be excluded.travels and more: From the change log, two other functions are accessible in most wikis[http: the Revision History—showing previous page versions, and the diff feature—highlighting the changes between two revisions//about-travels.

''Wiki'' (with an upper case 'W') and ''WikiWikiWeb'' are both used to specifically refer to the Portland Pattern Repository, the first-ever wiki. This usage's proponents suggest a lower-case 'w' for wikis in general. ''Wiki wiki'' comes from the Hawaiian term for "quick" or "super-fast."; sometimes, '''wikiwiki''' or '''WikiWiki''' or '''Wikiwiki''' are used instead of ''wiki..''
