Re: What's the difference between Wiki and Articles?

Hi;

Well I think the best way to answer this is for you to play around with both. Here are a couple of my thoughts.

First off I think that there is a great similarity and yet significantly differents between the two. It really depends on what you want to do.

Both of these may use categories. But the Articles also allow for topics.
The way these are displayed as rss are different so if you are wishing to use rss you may want to look at the effects.

The wiki,
For me the wiki is great for user pages as they are automatically created for the user.
The wiki word feature creates new pages which makes the wiki easy to use.
The wiki can be put in to structures which makes for great story presentation.
The wiki can use slides a little used feature but vrey useful fo some things.
The wiki works well for longer stories.

The Articles,
As mentioned above the topic feature is very handy.
Articles are neat as you may have a bunch of them listed on one page with the handy read more link if it perks the readers interest.
The Articles are now customizable so that different types may be created. IE: Articles, classified, ect. Check, Articles > Admin types

As I say you must look at examples or play with them to really get an idea.
