A wiki is a form of hypertext publication on the internet, collaboratively edited and managed by its audience directly through a web browser. A typical wiki contains multiple pages that can either be edited by the public or limited to use within an organization for maintaining its internal knowledge base.

from Wikipedia's article on wiki

I/M/D wiki

I/M/D is a community that's full of knowledge, skills, and stories to tell. The wiki, here, becomes not only a tool for publishing and preserving this knowledge, but an artistic medium to play and learn with. The question, developing this forward, is what and how knowledge is generated this way.

How to use

This wiki is not made from scratch. It's using the MediaWiki software. Navigation, editing, and customisation are the same as any MediaWiki-powered sites such as Wikipedia.

The sidebar gives you access to important pages in the wiki such as recent changes or upload file. MediaWiki requires you to log in before seeing all of the sidebar options.
Links (often called tabs) which relate to the page currently displayed: its associated discussion page, the version history, and – most notably – the edit link.
User links; as an anonymous user, you'll see a link to create an account or log in. As a logged-in user you have a collection of personal links, including ones to your user page and preferences.

Check Mediawiki's Help:Navigation page.

Sidebar:

The sidebar gives you access to important pages in the wiki (main page, recent changes, upload file). You need to be logged in to use all the options.
