    A wiki is a collaborative web-based content management system in which all users can edit the web pages that are part of the site. Wikis provide a flexible and adaptive web-based environment for admissions (and other higher-ed) departments to develop knowledge bases and repositories of group experiences and wisdom that empower admissions personnel to be more effective in recruiting students. It lends itself to building a community and facilitating an environment that is based on collaboration and teamwork rather than control. Because of its nature, a wiki web site evolves over time and adapts to work with the content that its users contribute.
