For more information on 'Watchlists', see this help link.

Wiki
A Wiki or wiki is a website that allows users to create, add and edit content. "Wiki" also refers to the collaborative software used to create such a website. Wiki (with an upper case 'W') and WikiWikiWeb are both used to refer specifically to the Portland Pattern Repository, the first-ever wiki. The name was based on the Hawaiian term wiki wiki, meaning "quick" or "super-fast".
