[[image:new topic icon.svg|thumb|Image: "[https://www.ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=wiki Wiki]" is derived from a Hawaiian word (<i lang="haw">wikiwiki</i>) meaning "quick". <ref><code>https://www.ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=wiki</code></ref>&ensp; So "wiki markup" is "quick markup" and a "wiki site" is a "quick site".&ensp; This refers to the abbreviated MediaWiki syntax which allows for the rapid development of many webpages in the form of wikipages.&ensp; MediaWiki was originally designed for developing a collaboratively-edited public encyclopedia ([[wikipedia:Wikipedia|<cite>Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia</cite>]]), requiring many people to make many edits to many pages in a short time. <ref><code>[[wikipedia:MediaWiki]]</code></ref>&ensp; Pictured is an example of MediaWiki markup showing the elimination of HTML chevrons for a level-two heading.&ensp; This cuts in half the number of typed characters needed to create a heading.]]

The homepage for <u><cite class="u">[[Nicole Sharp's Website]]</cite></u> has been moved from
Website for <u>[[Nicole Sharp]]</u> of [https://www.frostburg.edu/about-frostburg/campus-and-community/ Frostburg State University], Maryland, United States of America (USA). <ref><u><code>[[Nicole Sharp]]</code></u></ref>
: <code>nicolesharp.net/index.htm</code>
to
: <code>nicolesharp.net/w/index.php</code>


Both of these indexpages can now be accessed from
<cite class="n">Nicole Sharp's Website</cite> was originally <u>[[webhome|published]]</u> in <time datetime="2006">2006</time> as "<code>personal.frostburg.edu/nlsharp0</code>" and remains a nonprofit educational website.
: <code>[[index|https://www.nicolesharp.net/]]</code>


This change in the homepage represents a shift from a web-first ([[wikipedia:HTML|HTML]]-first) webdevelopment model to a wiki-first (MEDIAWIKI-first) webdevelopment model.&ensp; Previously, <u><cite class="u">[[NikkiWiki]]</cite></u> was a secondary site intended for notes or incomplete works compiled in wikimarkup before being (re)published in webmarkup (HTML or hypertext markup language) on the main site.&ensp; But this just ends up as twice the work.&ensp; Other [[mw:What is MediaWiki?|Wikimedia MediaWiki]] sites such as [[wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia]], [[wikibooks:Main Page|Wikibooks]], and [[wikisource:en:Main Page|Wikisource]] prove that [[wikipedia:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] is more than capable of handling completed works including those with complex content and simply using a wiki as a "quicknotes" system is an underutilization.&ensp; A traditional HTML website or homepage is thus unnecessary if a wiki is present on the domain.&ensp; The exception of course is for a wikifarm where no single wiki is primary, as seen with the HTML homepages for [https://www.wikimedia.org/ Wikimedia] and [https://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia].
<cite class="n">Nicole Sharp's Website</cite> is a [https://www.freedomdefined.org/ <strong>Free Cultural Work</strong>]. <ref><code>[[NikkiLicense]]</code></ref>


A major advantage of abandoning webdevelopment in pure HTML in favor of MediaWiki wikimarkup is for intercompatibility with other MediaWiki sites such as Wikipedia, Wikibooks, and [[wikiversity:Main Page|Wikiversity]].&ensp; Wikitext can be freely copied to and from <cite class="n">NikkiWiki</cite> and Wikimedia (with attribution) since both are using the same software (Wikimedia MediaWiki) and the same license (<u>[[NikkiLicense|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike]]</u>). <ref><u><code>[[NikkiLicense]]</code></u></ref>
