To see how it works, let's get started with the " wiki" in Wikipedia.

我们由“维基”抛砖来谈网站如何运转。

A wiki is a kind of website that allows users to make changes to any page.

维基是一种支持所有用户修改网页的技术。

But wait. One thing is missing. They need a location for the campsite. The wiki can help with this too. But another page is needed.

慢着！出问题了。他们需要定一个露营地点。维基技术同样能帮得上忙。只是需要另开一个网页。

Today, the vast majority of the Star Wars wiki articles are about things that aren’t considered part of the official Star Wars world anymore.

今天，绝大部分星球大战维基文章都是关于不再被视为官方星球大战世界一部分的事物。

It has one of the most involved taxonomies of any movie universe ever: There are visual dictionaries, museums, a wiki site — all dedicated to the origins of the characters.

它拥有所有电影宇宙中最复杂的分类法之一：有视觉词典、博物馆、维基网站——所有这些都致力于角色的起源。

John visits the wiki and clicks edit to edit the page. He types in the word " locations" and highlights it. He then clicks the " link" button. This changes the word " locations" into a link to a new page.

约翰访问维基网站，点击了编辑按键开始编辑。他写道“地点”，而且还高亮了字样。然后他点击了“链接”按键。这样一来，“链接”两字就包含了转向新网页的链接。 约翰点击了保存。
