Creating an Enterprise Wiki

Using Wikis is a great way to collaborate on content within SharePoint. While most people still think in terms of documents, there are a number of advantages to using Wikis over individual documents. These advantages include the ability to link from one document to another easily, the ability to provide better change markup without the need to use Track Changes, and the ability to integrate other web parts or SharePoint content within the Wiki content.

The Enterprise Wikis introduced with SharePoint Server 2010 provides some much needed advances over the standard Wiki features. While the page editing and markup are the exact same, there are Page Layout changes that provided much better support especially for larger sets of content. The features include Page Ratings, Wiki Categories making it easier to tag and relate pages, and also Metadata Navigation.
