| - The Anything Wiki is a multilingual, web-based, free-content wikia project supported by Wikia and based on a model of openly editable content. The name "Anything Wiki" is a phrase of the words anything and wiki (a technology for creating collaborative websites, from the Hawaiian word , meaning "quick"). The Anything Wiki's articles provide links designed to guide the user to related pages with additional information. The Anything Wiki is written collaboratively by largely anonymous volunteers who write without pay. Anyone with Internet access can write and make changes to Anything Wiki articles, except in limited cases where editing is restricted to prevent disruption or vandalism. Users can contribute anonymously, under a pseudonym, or, if they choose to, with their real identity. The fundamental principles by which Anything Wiki operates are the five pillars. The Anything Wiki community has developed many policies and guidelines to improve the wikia; however, it is not a formal requirement to be familiar with them before contributing. Since its creation in 2009, the Anything Wiki has grown rapidly into one of the largest reference websites, attracting tens of unique visitors monthly . There more than active working on more than in 1 language. As of today, there are in English. Every day, tens of visitors from around the world collectively make some edits and create few new articles to augment the knowledge held by the Anything Wiki. (See the statistics page for more information.) People of all ages, cultures and backgrounds can add or edit article prose, references, images and other media here. What is contributed is more important than the expertise or qualifications of the contributor. What will remain depends upon whether the content is free of copyright restrictions and contentious material about living people, and whether it fits within the Anything Wiki's policies, including being verifiable against a published reliable source, thereby excluding editors' opinions and beliefs and unreviewed research. Contributions cannot damage the Anything Wiki because the software allows easy reversal of mistakes and many experienced editors are watching to help ensure that edits are cumulative improvements. Begin by simply clicking the Edit link at the top of any editable page! Anything Wiki is a live collaboration differing from paper-based reference sources in important ways. Unlike printed wikias, the Anything Wiki is continually created and updated, with articles on historic events appearing within minutes, rather than months or years. Older articles tend to be more comprehensive and balanced; newer articles may contain misinformation and/or unwiki content. Any article may contain undetected vandalism. Awareness of this helps the reader to obtain valid information and avoid recently added misinformation (see Anything Wiki:Researching with the Anything Wiki).
