What is WIKI file?
The WIKI file has been categorized as Developer Files. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Wiki Markup Source appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Wikicloth to handle this file.

How to open WIKI file?
An often recurring problem with Wiki Markup Source is that WIKI is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open WIKI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WIKI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Wikicloth
The first step is to check if the computer has the Wikicloth program installed. To do this, enter the name Wikicloth into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file WIKI.
Programs to open WIKI file
Remember to download programs supporting WIKI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Wikicloth with WIKI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WIKI file to open in the Wikicloth application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Wikicloth application as the default for handling the WIKI file.
Step 3. Update Wikicloth to the latest version
If, however, after binding Wikicloth with Wiki Markup Source there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the nricciar website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WIKI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The WIKI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WIKI file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WIKI file. Sometimes virus-infected WIKI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WIKI files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WIKI files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WIKI files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move WIKI to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WIKI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WIKI file again. However, some background programs may block the WIKI file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
