-h4. What is a wiki?
A wiki is unique, dynamic Web site that anyone can contribute to. With everyone having the ability to read, edit, add, and revert content, a collaborative, evolving environment is created that encourages critical thinking and a community respect between participants. For more information, see 7 Things You Should Know About Wikis.-

-h4. How do I edit a wiki?
On a wiki, all you have to do is click the "Edit" link on the page you would like to make changes to. You'll see a small style guide to the right of your screen that explains how to format your text.-

-h4. Can we have more than one wiki?
For any single Work site, there is provided one editable wiki; however, your wiki can have as many pages as you'd like. As a result, if you'd like to seperate your wiki into two ares of study, or two research programs, simply add links to your first wiki pages for the desired secondary categories.-

-h4. How do we convert wiki information into a completed, static document?
There are a number of ways to accomplish this goal, depending on the length, depth, and complexity of your wiki. Simply copying and pasting text to a word processing program will work, though if this proves too time consuming, you should consider contacting IT Express to discuss other possible methods. Contact IT Express at 530-754-HELP (4357), e-mail them at ithelp@ucdavis.edu, or visit 182 Shields Library for walk-in assistance.-

-h4. What happens if two people try to edit a wiki at the same time?
