The '''HandWiki'''<ref>HandWiki.  A wiki encyclopedia dedicated to science and computing; ''HandWiki.org''; Retrieved November 2019.</ref> is a internet [[wiki]]-style {{tag|encyclopedia}} for {{tag|professional}} researchers in various branches of {{tag|science}}, {{tag|technology}}, and {{tag|computing}}.  As other wiki type encyclopedias, HandWiki is designed for collaborative [[edit]]ing of articles.  One notable feature of HandWiki is that uses dedicated [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]]s for each science topic, unlike the traditional [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] that uses the {{tag|MediaWiki}} category concept for all articles.  In addition to the categories preserved from Wikipedia, HandWiki has its own categories for local articles.  According to the Handwiki designers, this can simplify organization of articles according to each particular topic.  The HandWiki is designed using the MediaWiki software with additional extensions for including programming codes.  HandWiki has the following topics included in the dedicated namespaces: {{tag|Mathematics}}, Computers, Analysis, {{tag|Physics}}, {{tag|Astronomy}}, {{tag|Biology}}, {{tag|Chemistry}}.

;''HandWiki registration policy
===HandWiki registration policy===
Unlike Wikipedia, HandWiki does not allow [[IP editor|anonymous editing]].  The login to HandWiki is restricted <ref name=HandWikiAbout>HandWiki acceptance policy; ''[https://HandWiki.org/wiki/HandWiki:About About HandWiki]''; Retrieved November 2020.</ref> for professional {{tag|research}}ers, after indicating an evidence for their qualification by imposing the requirement that the [[user]]s who can edit HandWiki articles should have at least one publication in peer-reviewed journals.  This is enforced through providing ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) number during the registration, which uniquely identifies scientific and other academic authors and contributors.  As an alternative, a researcher can send an email to the support team indicating his/her published research article.
Unlike Wikipedia, HandWiki does not allow [[anonymous]] editing (commonly known as an [[IP editor]]).  The login to HandWiki is {{tag|ByInvitation|restricted}}<ref name=HandWikiAbout/> for professional {{tag|research}}ers, after indicating an {{Cambridge-Dictionary|evidence}} for their {{Cambridge-Dictionary|qualification}} by imposing a specific requirement that the [[user]]s who can edit HandWiki articles should have at least one published article in any {{Wp|Academic journal|peer-reviewed journal}}.  This is enforced through providing {{Wp|ORCID}} (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) number during the registration, which uniquely identifies scientific and other academic authors and contributors.  As an alternative, a researcher can send an email to the support team indicating their published research article.


According to the HandWiki documentation,<ref name=HandWikiAbout/> the registered users can create {{tag|manuals}} and {{tag|tutorials}} using dedicated MediaWiki namespaces, and use different type of [[:Category:Wiki License|licenses]].  In particular, some articles (especially manuals and tutorials) posted on HandWiki may contain license restrictions imposed by their authors.

;''Article acceptance policy
However, HandWiki also offer less restrictive requirements to those who do not have an ORCID account.  HandWiki offer the facility for themselves to manually {{Cambridge-Dictionary|verify}} prospective editors, though this process may take one to two days.<ref>[https://handwiki.org/verify/ Author Verification – Verification form]; ''HandWiki.org''; 2021; retrieved 31 October 2021.</ref>
HandWiki, in its original form,<ref name=HandWikiAbout/> has a more permissive policy for acceptance of articles than Wikipedia.  In particular, it does not enforce the [[Wikipedia:Notability|Wikipedia notability]] for scholarly content.  One important requirement for article submission is the article should have at least one reference to an 'external source', without a clear indication about the nature of this source. It also does not have a super-user or [[administrator]]<ref name=HandWikiFAQ>HandWiki FAQ; ''[https://HandWiki.org/wiki/HandWiki:FAQ HandWiki FAQ]''; Retrieved November 2019.</ref> who is in charge of removing articles depending on its content.  The main idea behind this decision<ref name=HandWikiFAQ/> is that the articles submitted by researches will be sufficiently scrutinized by other researches, and its mistakes and scientific rigor can easily be determined via collaborative discussions of qualified researches.


;''History
In a further dilution of their own self-proclaimed high standards, HandWiki are willing to let ANYONE edit HandWiki, providing they {{tag|pay to edit}} with a '{{Cambridge-Dictionary|donation}}' of at least US$10 (or more)!<ref>[https://handwiki.org/wiki/HandWiki:Alternative_Registration HandWiki: Alternative Registration]; ''HandWiki.org''; 25 August 2021; retrieved 31 October 2021.</ref>

===Article acceptance policy===
HandWiki, in its original form,<ref name=HandWikiAbout/> has a more {{Cambridge-Dictionary|permissive}} policy for acceptance of articles than [[English Wikipedia|Wikipedia]].  In particular, it does not enforce the {{Wp|Wikipedia notability}} for {{Cambridge-Dictionary|scholarly}} content.  One important requirement for article {{Cambridge-Dictionary|submission}} is the article should have at least one [[Citation|reference]] to an 'external source', without a clear indication about the nature of this source.  It also does not have a super-user or [[administrator]]<ref name=HandWikiFAQ>[https://handwiki.org/wiki/HandWiki:FAQ HandWiki FAQ]; ''HandWiki.org''; 14 September 2021; retrieved 31 October 2021.</ref> who is in charge of removing articles depending on its content.  The main idea behind this decision<ref name=HandWikiFAQ/> is that the articles submitted by researches will be sufficiently {{Cambridge-Dictionary|scrutinize}}d by other researchers, and its mistakes and scientific {{Cambridge-Dictionary|rigour}} can easily be determined via collaborative discussions of qualified researches.
 
===Database dumps===
As of 2021, HandWiki denies any facility to {{Cambridge-Dictionary|download}} (dump) its database of articles.<ref name=HandWikiFAQ/>  The site specifically states:<ref name=HandWikiFAQ/><blockquote>HandWiki contains many articles and other material (books, tutorials) protected by the licenses which are not consistent with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-SA).</blockquote>  However, under the very clear terms of its self declared {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 3.0 Unported License}} (CC-BY-SA 3.0),<ref name=HandWikiAbout/> ALL content published under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 is 'free content'.  That means that ANYONE is allowed re-use the entire content of all CC-BY-SA material, "in any medium or format".  Thus, restricting database dumps of HandWiki content is categorically against the terms of their own stated Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 3.0 Unported License!
 
HandWiki go on to state:<ref name=HandWikiFAQ/><blockquote>In future, it will be possible to separate such material from the {{tag|Wiki Public domain (generic)|public-domain}} articles in the dump files.</blockquote>  However, if, and when this facility might materialise, it still does not give HandWiki the right to deny NOW database dumps of CC-BY-SA 3.0 licensed content.
