What is a wiki?

Wikis provide a simple, intuitive way of creating group-authored webpages, such as Wikipedia-style repositories of knowledge.
They are useful for collaborative projects and make it easy to share information.
You can view changes made by different users or rollback to previous versions.

The UCL Wiki is not just one wiki - the Confluence software has the capability of creating many "wiki spaces" for groups of UCL users.
Additionally, both staff and student users have the ability to set up their own "personal space" on the UCL Wiki.
