Wikipedia is a Wiki. Wiki is a website that allows visitors to add, remove, and edit content. A collaborative technology for organizing information on Web sites, the first wiki (WikiWikiWeb) was developed by Ward Cunningham in the mid-1990s. Wikis allow for linking among any number of pages. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative authoring. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, is one of the best known wikis.
Open-source wikis (such as Wikipedia) have been criticized for their reliability: certain individuals may maliciously introduce false or misleading content. Proponents rely on their community of users who can catch malicious content and correct it. Wikis in general make a basic assumption of the goodness of people.
Got this from Wikipedia itself :)

Wikipedia a free web sit and you don't need membership to add stuff. In my opinion don't ever use Wikipedia because it is not 100% true.

Wikipedia is basically an online encyclopedia that anyone can contribute to. Articles are written, edited, and moderated by users. No membership is needed to browse or edit articles.
