EXPLORING THE STRUCTURE OF THE WIKI

The Wiki ofcourse starts with the name of the person or the subject that the Wiki is discussing.
Secondly the Wiki consist's of importantly a contents section, for example this was taken from a wiki on Rudolf Dreikurs. This wiki is a private one, unlike many which are public wiki's. They are created by a person or group of people, who can add and edit information they post on the wiki.

This can be seen at:

From WikEd
Rudolf Dreikurs (1897-1972)

Contents
1 Descriptions, definitions, synonyms, organizer terms, types of
2 Application in classrooms and similar settings
3 Evidence of effectiveness
4 Critics and their rationale
5 More Books by Dreikurs
6 Alternative explanations due to diversity considerations
7 Signed "life experiences," testimonies and stories
8 References and other links of interest

The Wiki also uses numbers to categorise each chapter in the content's. Within these there are sub headings. In each section there is an edit button. You can see the different postings different people have contributed to the wiki. However as these are anonymous there is no way to tell who is posting them.
