Add a wiki to your community so that you can share information
and resources with fellow community members, and work collaboratively
on projects.
Before you begin
You must be a community owner to add a wiki to a community,
and you must also be logged in to Communities. You cannot add an existing
wiki to a community.
About this task
Adding a wiki to a community provides a shared environment
where members can work together to create and update information in
an ongoing, collaborative process. Wiki membership is managed by the
community and there is a direct mapping between membership roles.
Community members with the editor role can create and edit pages in
the wiki. Members are given the editor role by default. Users with
the reader role or who are not members of the community can read the
wiki content but cannot make any contributions or changes. To change
the membership role setting for Wikis, see

wiki.
When you add a wiki to a community, the wiki is automatically
given the same name as the community. A Wiki area
is added to the community's Overview page and, when community
members start to populate the wiki, this area displays links to the
five latest wiki updates. A Wiki link also
appears in the navigation sidebar. Click this link to open the wiki in the Wikis user interface. The
community's business card displays at the topic of the wiki, allowing
community members to navigate to the community directly from the wiki
user interface.
