==Is this website a wiki?==
This website runs on [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] software, which is the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki] software used by Wikipedia. This might give the false impression that the website is a collaborative wiki. But in fact only registered users of this site can edit pages, and the only registered user at the moment is [[User:Michael|Michael Slattery]]. This site is thus a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_wiki personal wiki]. ([[Loic Lemeur]] recently [http://twitter.com/loic/status/67020275639779328 tweeted] that personal wikis seem like "totally a thing of the past.")
