The Wiki Index widget is like a table of contents for wiki channels – it displays a list of the wiki articles in the channel. The articles are displayed alphabetically, and an index bar at the top allows you to quickly jump to a section of the index, by letter.
The Wiki Index widget is used to display the contents of a wiki channel, or multiple wiki channels in a way that’s easy for members to navigate. For example, you can house a variety of “How-to” wiki articles in one place, categorized alphabetically, so members can easily find the answers they are looking for.
