Academic hub/it

Le wiki accademiche sono wiki di terze parti concepite per essere usate in un contesto accademico con una maggiore enfasi su funzionalità come il controllo degli accessi, il controllo dei contenuti inseriti e funzioni di analisi delle ricerche.

Per altri usi da parte di terzi del software MediaWiki, controlla Sysadmin hub.

Condivisione del sapere
Many academic wikis are using and leveraging the semantic web to share data. The MediaWiki API can also be used to mine data from other sites; combined with an scheduler program like Cron this can lead to semi-automated data distribution.

Vampire Model
The vampire model consists of two rules:
 * 1) only registered users may edit
 * 2) only registered users may create accounts

This method of account-creation removes the burden of making all accounts from single user/admin, this greatly simplifies matters. Because trust of peers is relatively high in an academic setting, a single account can be made for a P.I., who then can make accounts for their students. Because MediaWiki logs all account activity it is (relatively) easy to track accountability for creation of spam/bot accounts.
