The word "wiki" comes from Hawaiian expression "wiki wiki" == to do something quickly. The inventor of the first wiki, Ward Cunningham's wiki http://c2.com from 1995 is still running.

Wikitext is perhaps the fastest way for a human to enter hypertext. There are more than one wikitext standards in existence but quite naturally the one used in mw:MediaWiki, the software that runs Wikipedia and many other wikis is the most widespread.

Juho's wikis

Consumerium.org - Imagine a status quo completely different from the current one, if the consumers care about the planet, global workers and they had a way to consort their consumption power and signaling.

Consumerium (.org) is a not-for-profit effort to enable display of product information to consumers and feedback to producers and their owners in all countries of the world to enhance the consumer experience and to keep this planet as hospitable as possible. Development wiki since March 2003, concept online since 2002 and in Juho's mind since 2000.

Stop Synthetic Filth! wiki (.org) - A call for resistance against disinformation filth that deceives or tries to deceive that it is w:human in origin.

Ban Covert Modeling! wiki (.org) - An inactive one-purpose wiki to ban covert modeling i.e. image, voice, writing style, singing style when lacking express permission to do so.

Some instructions for wiki novices

Mediawiki is by most metrics the most widely used wiki implementation.

How to read wiki In MediaWiki an external URL will have a small symbol after it to indicate a link not internal to the wiki or reached via the interwiki mechanism.

Notice that internal links and interwiki links have slightly different color with the interwiki links being lighter in hue. If unable to tell just hover over the link and see where it leads to.

A red link means that the target of the link does not exist in the wiki in question.

How to edit wiki?

Use [[w:Fairtrade]] to link to Wikipedia's article on fairtrade and [[w:fr:Commerce équitable]] to link to the article in the French Wikipedia as simple as that. ( works for all languages, just insert the correct lang code )

This wiki has InstantCommons activated so all Wikimedia Commons images can be used on this wiki with the normal syntax: [[File:Filename.png|thumb|right|100px|Caption text]]

Wikipedia tutorial pretty much explains how to edit wikitext.

How to get a wiki

Purchase hosting and install, configure and host one yourself. mw:MediaWiki is where to get started
Get a free wiki from the good people at Miraheze.org
Purchase one as a service from Juho Kunsola, inquire for pricing. Nonprofits can inquire for pro-bono assistance and/or hosting.
