This might be the first page of OurWiki, the RootPage, but who knows! This wiki is editable by everyone[[.]]

''A wiki (WIK-ee) is a knowledge base on which users collaboratively modify and structure content[[.]] Wikis can work because they rely on the community to structure itself[[.]] Every change made to the site is observable[[.]] Wiki is paradoxical[[.]] There is no simple explanation for wiki[[.]] Wiki can be simple and wiki can become arbitrarily complex[[.]] It can be seen as a technical tool or as a mere foundation for social interactions[[.]] Wiki doesn't enforce a certain form of interactions or content and so can take many different forms[[.]] You'd like to have perfect content in your wiki, but then people wouldn't feel up to participate, nobody would criticize and improve it, the wiki would be without life[[.]] ''

It might not seem like it, but you are browsing on on a piece of Internet history[[.]] This site runs on the UseModWiki engine (written in the programming language Perl), a clone of the original WikiWikiWeb by Ward Cunningham[[.]] The biggest and most popular wiki [[today]], Wikipedia, started on the UseModEngine! It might not look very sexy, but it lays bare how wiki works[[.]]

Any page is editable by clicking on ''Edit text of this page'' at the bottom[[.]] Also, YouCanUploadFiles[[.]] To create a new article or [[link]] you have two options:
# join two capitalised words together <nowiki>LikeThis</nowiki> 
# or surround words with square brackets <nowiki>[[like that]]</nowiki>
# once a new empty article is created it will show up <nowiki>LikeThat?</nowiki> (with a clickable "?" next to it)[[.]] Clicking on the "?" brings you to the empty page[[.]] 
Note that these two examples don't work because I used the <nowiki> tag, which commands our engine to ignore a function[[.]] A tip is to check ''Edit text of this page'' if you see something you don't understand[[.]] You should also familiarize yourself with formatting '''(http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TextFormattingRules)''', actions (http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?System) and features (http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UseModWiki/Features)[[.]]
