Wikis are collaborative websites where visitors can edit anything they want, anytime they want. Essentially online “whiteboards,” wikis allow groups of people to create documents and projects together.

Like wikis, your forum can be private, password protected, and monitored by you. But unlike wikis, the threads and posts cannot be edited by other participants.
