I strongly recommend [http://doc.tikiwiki.org/|reading the docs]. The feture list includes a brief writeup of each feature; including when/how to use it.

Some quick definitions:

  • A "page" is what the user sees... everyhing ends up being served to the end-user as a "page." Pages can be:
    • Wiki — A page that can be created collaboratively.
    • Article — A page that can be submitted, approved, and can have a specific "life time" (that is, expire on a specific date).


If you want a logical grouping of pages, I suggest that you also take a look at Tiki Categories and Structures.
