Wiki appears as a word in the New York Times crossword on June 30, 2013. Thanks to David DiNucci for bringing this to my attention and to Bill Butler for posting the puzzle with explanation.

<b>43. Collaborative Web site : WIKI</b><br>
A wiki is a website in which users are allowed to create and edit content themselves. The term “wiki” comes from the name of the first such site, introduced in 1994 and called WikiWikiWeb. “Wiki” is a Hawaiian word for “quick”, and is used because comprehensive content is created very quickly a there are so many collaborators contributing to the site.
