Excerpt: This comparison of wiki farms details notable online services which host wikiwiki -style editable web pages . General characteristics of cost, presence of advertising, licensing, and Alexa rank are compared, as are technical differences in editing, features, wiki engine, multilingual support and syntax support. Wikis are one of the first online collaboration tools.
