Wikified
Wikified describes content, typically text, that has been formatted and structured according to the conventions of a wiki, such as Wikipedia. This often involves adding internal links (hyperlinks to other pages within the wiki), formatting with headings, bullet points, and other wiki markup, and organizing information in a collaborative, easily editable manner. The term implies a transformation from unstructured or differently structured information to a format suitable for a wiki environment.
