nounbliki (plural blikis)

plural blikis

  1. InternetrareA website whose pages are organized in the format of a blog, but which can be freely edited as in a wiki.

    The bliki aims to make the blogging experience more interactive while promoting quality and accuracy of posts. Blikis may be adopted by organizations to organize internal information centrally and in a format that is always accessible.

    It should be noted again that, regardless of how the talk page is implemented, it is meant, for the most part, to be a place to discuss the contents of the relevant wiki page and not that page’s actual subject matter. But what if you want a place for readers (not necessarily even the wiki's own users) to comment on the page’s subject matter, or more generally, to place any sort of free-form comments? One solution is to simply use the talk page for that, and avoid wiki-style editing-based discussions altogether. This approach can make sense when the wiki is what's known as a "bliki", or a wiki where pages are generally blog-style, dated posts. Blikis are usually edited by one person, but even if they're not, generally no collaboration happens on the content, so there's no need to use talk pages to aid in collaboration. That frees up the talk pages for use in storing reader comments.
