 A wiki allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages. It is used to create collaborative websites, to power community websites, for personal note taking, and in knowledge management systems. Obsolete material needs to be removed.
 Wiki gardening is the process of incrementally editing a wiki space to preserve continuity, make additional connections and links, and otherwise clean it up to be more consistent. Presented in an appealing way, organized knowledge will increase usability.

 Sometimes you realize there are lots of pages around a specific topic, but there is no page specifically about the topic from which to link them up. Sometimes a navigation hierarchy established early on becomes much too wide and flat, requiring some redesign to maintain a degree of usability. A well arranged structure will make it easier and more inviting for users to add new content.

 We can prune away information that is no longer relevant. Also reduce orphaned pages. For some pages, the information they contain could be better exposed by moving that information into existing pages. Some pages just need some cosmetic editing (typos, misspellings, poorly structured sentences and paragraphs) to improve readability.
