Culture

The English Wikiversity is pretty laid back. The sysops show a great deal of restraint, aside from being about as eager as Meta-Wiki sysops to revisiondelete edits on questionable grounds (although the page on the topic theoretically suggests that "Its use should be kept to a bare minimum"). The process for becoming a sysop (known on Wikiversity as a custodian) involves mentorship and evaluation.

Wikiversity – Set learning free — is a linguistic edition 'project', and collection of wiki sites of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) in different languages; for the creation and use of free learning materials and activities. Wikiversity is a multi-dimensional centre dedicated to learning, teaching, research, and service. Officially launched 2006, its primary goals are to:

  • Create and host free content, multilingual learning materials, resources, and curricula; for all age groups in all languages;
  • Develop and host collaborative learning projects and communities around these materials;
  • Complement and develop existing Wikimedia projects (e.g. a project devoted to finding good sources for Wikipedia articles).

As of November 2021, Wikimedia Meta-Wiki indicates that there are 17 Wikiversities of different languages, plus the Multilingual Wikiversity Beta; this latter also acts as the meta wiki for the entire Wikiversity project, and also as an 'incubator' for proposed future language versions of Wikiversity.
