A wiki is a collaborative reference work with no identified author or editor. You may be asked to contribute to a wiki in your unit or to access some other wikis in your discipline. Wikis are treated as unpublished materials and because their content is reviewed constantly you must include the retrieval date.
Please note that Wikipedia is not an appropriate academic source, except when you are writing about Wikipedia itself!
