Ward's Wiki
   
  The world's first wiki, created by Ward Cunningham and first made public in 1995, normally refered to simply as Wiki. You won't normally need the url on Why but here it is: c2.com/cgi/wiki. Beautifully concise, like so much in Wiki History from the author himself.

This clublet was spawned from Wiki in November 2000, taking some pages devoted to Christian and related topics. The reasons for the original migration and details of its implementation are given in Why. That was One Time Ward Interfered for sure. Somewhat confusingly, given its parentage, Why became known as a Sister Site to Wiki. Hey Presto, maybe that was the reason for all the identity problems. Is This Clublet Christian? You know I Don't Know and I don't much care. There's certainly a lot that has nothing to do with any Hypothesis Of Jesus by now, as can be seen from Starting Points and the funky reports linked=WaldenMathews and linked=JamesCrook. And remember this: you have the precious freedom never to click on any of it. Whenever you have the tiniest hunch that there's a god I suggest you thank him for that.

People still ask Why The Difference between the two wikis. Throttled Wiki says it all. Well almost.


One minute wikizen's techno-summary

There are some differences from Wiki in the way links can made, although the normal Wiki ways work and are used 95% of the time. This page has examples of the main additional options.

Ward's Wiki acts as an alias of Wiki Wiki Web. Click on alias and scroll to the bottom of the page to see exactly how. Click on nikname to see how alias was defined. Same for nikname and Wiki come to that. Why though is a little different. Look for it near the top of splits. The apostrophe in Ward's Wiki is also declared in splits, which is of course the nikname for the same page.

After all that, do you really want to know How To Link To Wiki pages on Why? pre has a more general summary of syntax at the top. The highest level summary of all the facilities in this area is Clublet Name Schiz.
