Explain
A wiki is an online reference that is openly edited by its users. Because wiki content is, by definition, collectively edited and can be updated frequently, do not include an author. Include the following:
the title of the entry, in quotation marks
the name of the wiki, italicized
the sponsor or publisher of the wiki, using common MLA abbreviations (use “N.p.” if there is no sponsor)
the date of the most recent update
the medium (“Web”)
your date of access
Note on using a URL in a works cited entry
If your instructor requires a URL for Web sources, include the URL, enclosed in angle brackets, at the end of the entry.
Shiva, Vandana. “Bioethics: A Third World Issue.” NativeWeb. NativeWeb, n.d. Web. 22 Feb. 2006. <http://www.nativeweb.org/pages/legal/shiva.html>.
When a URL in a works cited entry must be divided at the end of a line, break it after a slash. Do not insert a hyphen.
