This page is about documenting within a Wiki vs. documenting with standard office documents. It describes advantages and disadvantages of using a sophisticated wiki like [[MediaWiki]] for knowledge management and collaborative documentation.

== Advantages ==
*Users don't need an '''office client''' - just a modern W3C-compliant browser
*No '''compatibility''' problems between different office clients
*Well-proven '''Wiki syntax''' (like in Wikipedia)
*Very powerful handling of '''templates''', which are dynamically rendered each time a page is loaded
**'''Transclusion''' of content, which can be '''maintained on a single place''', into any wiki page
**Templates support '''parameters''' like variables. Example: Parameterize a color or a table output
*Wiki pages can be tagged with '''categories''' and sub-categories -> list of pages per category
*It's easy to '''redirect''' pages. Example: Just enter "S4" and you will be redirected to the proper S4 page
*Many other '''features''' like [[Help:Extensions#Syntax_Highlighting|syntax hightlighting]], [[Help:Contents#Moving_Pages|moving or renaming pages]], [[Help:Contents#Watching_Pages|watching pages]] to get notified on changes, page protections, etc. See [[Help:Contents]].
*Built-in wiki '''search''' engine
*Full version '''history'''
*Possibility to use hundreds of great [[Help:Extensions|extensions]] like [[Semantic MediaWiki]].
*Ability to '''combine many wikis''' to a central entry point by using namespaces and interwiki links. That leads to better linking between the wikis (without need of absolute URLs).
*Upload of regular '''files''' (e.g. office documents, images) possible in case this is needed

=== Results ===
This results in:
*One '''central access point''' for information. No permission problems.
*Easy '''linking of content''' to built a real knowledge base - no single documents which makes it impossible to link knowledge
*Easy '''collaborative''' editing with a full '''history of changes within the complete knowledge base'''
*'''Write a document''' on one place and include it to any wiki page -> No redundant information, no different versions
*Categories could be created in order to help '''structuring''' content
*Search for a keyword will look '''throughout the complete knowledge base''', not only a single document
*Anyone can create "shortcuts" to '''easily navigate''' to a certain page
*Users can manage '''notifications''' in case someone edits a page
*Users have full control over '''who has edited''' a page (history)
*Users can easily '''revert changes'''
*Users could '''combine''' a wiki with a "office document store", i.e. using the wiki as '''meta framework''' (TOC) on top of such an office store would be possible
*Content could be '''migrated''' step-by-step
*We could establish a semantic approach to tag content with their "meaning" and to '''dynamically search for information'''. Proper tagging can be done using forms.

== Disadvantages ==
*Users must learn something '''new''' (how to use a wiki for editing pages)
*'''Export''' to office documents (e.g. PDF) needs proper extensions and does not provide the same look as experienced from standard office
*Editing '''tables''' is not much intuitive - but a WYSIWYG editor could be implemented
*We must agree on a common and flat '''access model'''. Any logged-in user '''can edit all pages'''. Read access is granted either for all visitors or for all logged-in users. No fine-granulated access control.
