 Wikis were first introduced by Ward Cunningham ​ as a platform for exchanging knowledge between software developers (Aguiar, et al., 2009). Wikis are web-based tools that contain collections of web pages that users are allowed to edit or even create and initialize. These tools have meet a tremendous growth due to the fact that here users are not just static viewers, but they participate in this process by offering their individual knowledge about a general or a specific topic. Some other factors that contributed in the expansion of wiki-like tools include the simple wiki-syntax supported by a plethora of easy-to-use ​ editors that simplify the process of creating and editing wiki content, as well as the fact that (in most of the cases) there is no restriction in who is allowed to change the content of a wiki page. People use wikis in collaborative projects, in collaborative writing , in course assignment, in  open source software development,​ in organizational environments for processing and managing information,​ in knowledge base projects, and generally, in every online activity that requires collaborative and cooperative involvement. Wikis were first introduced by Ward Cunningham ​ as a platform for exchanging knowledge between software developers (Aguiar, et al., 2009).
