Was thinking that myself too EJ and despite Lishka's explanation and me having a looky, it makes no sense to me!

The only explanation I gave was......where to find the explanation :D But isn't it a sort-of encycloepaedia-type thing written by everyone with some knowledge on a particular topic? And if not, don't refer me back to read 5-6 pages........please?  :o ;D

Yes perhaps it could be described as a communally interactive repository in real time, ie always being updated. I nearly typed suppository there, how to embarrass oneself in one easy lesson  :-[

If you go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial it shows how to edit the pages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page is how one looks when it's up and running. Here's another example: http://wikitravel.org/en/Main_Page and my personal favourite for the sheer madness involved in setting it up: http://wiki.stargate-sg1-solutions.com/index.php/Main_Page
For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else.

Sorry I can't get my mind off Curry's "communally interactive suppository" and the effect it would have!!  ::) ;D
Equality isn't everyone being the same, equality is recognising that being different is normal.

It looks like the Wiki is up and running now, I have just had a quick play and added starting pages for Asparagus and Asparagus peas.

Ken,

Some people seem to get that message when they first try to access the wiki, give it another go and see if you are successfull.

Cheers

My blog's in the signature line below this post. If you want your own, try blogger.com - they're free and not too hard to use, though it takes a bit longer to work out how to customise them :)

I'm very new to Wiki editing but I thought it may help if I put an entry in the 'editing help' page, so I lifted the text from wikipedia which explains which codes do what.

Hope this is OK and its the sort of thing that page was designed for?

Thanks Bupster, so its a sort of your own personal site thingy, that you can share with everyone.
