The edit history view in many wiki implementations will include edit

summaries written by users when submitting changes to a page.


Similar to the function of a log message in a revision control system,
an edit summary is a short piece of text which summarizes and
perhaps explains the change, for example "Corrected grammar" or
"Fixed table formatting to not extend past page width". It is not
inserted into the article's main text.

Navigation
Traditionally, wikis offer free navigation between their pages
via hypertext links in page text, rather than requiring users to follow
a formal or structured navigation scheme. Users may also
create indexes or table of contents pages, hierarchical
categorization via a taxonomy, or other forms of ad hoc content
organization. Wiki implementations can provide one or more ways to
categorize or tag pages to support the maintenance of such index
pages, such as a backlink feature which displays all pages that link
to a given page. Adding categories or tags to a page makes it easier
for other users to find it.

Most wikis allow the titles of pages to be searched amongst, and


some of France]]. This syntax was adopted by a number of later
wiki engines.

It is typically possible for users of a wiki to create links to pages that


do not yet exist, as a way to invite the creation of those pages. Such
links are usually differentiated visually in some fashion, such as
being colored red instead of the default blue, which was the case in
the original WikiWikiWeb, or by appearing as a question mark next
to the linked words.
