What is a wiki, in the end???

Is it the format? The idea of collaborative editing? Other features? From the Wikipedia, the definition is:
A wiki is a collaborative collection of interlinked web pages, all of which can be visited and edited by anyone at any time (collaborative software). Ward Cunningham invented the concept and software. You could even edit this page by clicking the "edit" link on the third tab above, or edit only a section by clicking on "[edit]" to its right! If you don't have anything to add or correct on this page and you just want to see how it works, try out the Wikipedia:Sandbox. See also Wikipedia:Editing FAQ and WikiWiki.

So you can see that there's no reference whatesoever to the format.
I know I hate the format (to make a nicely formatted table header with a bold title with a link, just type ||~*[--/?mylink?;-=+]}||... yeah, right.... even worse is that no two engines implement the same formatting rules)

I know we'll something about it.
