That's the vibe I'm getting from nearly everyone, and yet there are a few articles out there that say that the Zettelkasten absolutely was not simply a wiki. It was more.
I've found a few explicit statements to that effect, but, ironically, I can't find them just now, but Luhmann talked about "having a conversation" with his Zettelkasten. Simply implementing and/or using a wiki is clearly not the same thing ... that's a personal knowledge repository.
So I think people are still missing something.
