A [[Wiki]] or wiki (pronounced "wicky", "weekee" or "veekee") is a website that allows a user to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows that content to be edited by anybody. Wiki wiki comes from the Hawaiian term for "quick" or "super-fast." Since the page history is stored, the pages can be reverted back in case of vandalism. Since its first introduction on March 25, 1995, as [[Portland Pattern Repository]] by [[Ward Cunningham]], [[Wiki Wiki Web]]s Webs became quickly popular, thanks to the revolutionary concept of users editing any page in the wiki. Since the page history is stored, the pages can be reverted back in case of vandalism. The phenomenal success of wikis is exemplified by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page wikipedia], started in January 2001 working on over 433508 articles as of December, 2004. '''[[Contributors to WikiChristian]]'''
