- Definition of a wiki
"...a website or database developed collaboratively that allows users to add, delete, or revise content by using a web browser."
The Step Modifications wiki is intended to be a community-driven project; although, most contributions to date have originated from only a handful of contributors. Our goal is to make it easy for all community members to contribute by helping us maintain existing content and developing new content. We created this reference to help our userbase get more comfortable working within a wiki environment.
