Re: Articles vs Wikis

> I am not quite sure I understand the difference between articles and wikis within tikiwiki....could anybody shed some light on the technical differences and an example of how would use one or the other?

A good way to differentiate the two...

  • Articles can be time-sensitive "news" items. You can configure a publication and expiration date for each "article." Visitors (with permission) can:
    • Leave comments on articles
    • Submit new articles (pending approval)

    It is important to note that that articles do not maintain a change history.

  • Wiki pages are the "content" pages of your site. Wiki pages have much more fine-grained permission structure than articles.
