The '''PZI XPUB & Lens-Based Wiki''' is a wiki shared by the Experimental Publishing and Lens-Based masters, as the main platform to organize/document/archive/share knowledge and class material.

			Personally, I use the wiki to document group work on collaborative pages, but most of all, to write and curate my own pages within my user space. Besides my user space, [[User:Charlie\|U'''ser:Charlie''']] (acting like a homepage), I have created 16 other pages for various topics and purposes relating to course material, documenting self-directed research and other miscellaneous topics of interest (like [[User:Charlie/I ♥ Dogs\|I ♥ Dogs]]). As a text-based platform I appreciate the wiki a lot, as it allows me to "store" and publish my writing (whether it's based on research or more fun writing experiments, like [[User:Charlie/Omens From The Dog Park\|Omens From The Dog Park]]). Considering that I have been using the wiki for creating both xpub-related and extracurricular documentation pages, a concern of mine has been: '''"What happens to my wiki pages after graduation?"''' & '''"Can I keep using the wiki? Or is that weird?"'''
