Wiki vs. Confluence
A team wiki is not an AI permission system.
Confluence is a team wiki for human documentation. Wiki governs what AI may use, who can see it, and when an answer must refuse.
| Aspect | Confluence | Wiki |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Team wiki for people | Wiki management for AI applications |
| Review for AI | Editorial page reviews | Verification before AI use |
| AI permissions | Sharing for humans | Per-application policies |
| Public vs internal | Space permissions | Public-safe and internal collections |
| Answer testing | Not included | Answer Playground |
| Public docs | Possible with setup | Publish from the same verified sources |
When the alternative may fit
Confluence fits when teams need a shared workspace wiki for people, comments, and page trees without AI-specific verification or application policies.
When Wiki fits
Wiki fits when chatbots, copilots, and public docs must answer from reviewed sources with public-safe versus internal boundaries.
