 * wiki (as an adjective), "the wiki way", and the antonym un-wiki are also used to describe the community-oriented philosophy that goes with such a system (e.g. "that's not a very wiki way of doing things").


 * Wiki (with a capital 'W') is an incorrect term, although it has sometimes been used to refer to either Wikipedia or the Portland Pattern Repository (also known as WikiWikiWeb), which was the first wiki to be created.


 * wiki software and wiki engine are terms referring to pieces of software that power wiki websites. There are many different types of wiki software; some very simple, others with advanced features.

Vikimedija
Wikimedia is the collective name for the Wikimedia movement, revolving around a group of inter-related projects, including Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote and others, which aim to use the collaborative power of the Internet, and the wiki concept, to create and share free knowledge of all kinds.


 * The term Wikimedia servers is often used, referring to the computer hardware on which all Wikimedia projects are hosted.
 * Wikimedia Foundation is a non-profit organization headquartered in San Francisco that runs the Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia Deutschland, Wikimedia Russia etc. are the names of dozens of local chapters of enthusiasts of Wikimedia projects. They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and the Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia, depending on the context and locale, is often incorrectly used as short name for the Wikimedia projects, or a chapter, or the Wikimedia Foundation (the latter can happen also on this wiki).
 * The Wikimedia Meta-Wiki, commonly referred to as Meta, is the wiki used to discuss issues which affect all Wikimedia projects. See also: About.
 * Meta should not be confused with MetaWiki, a search engine that is not part of the Wikimedia group of projects.
