Academic hub/tr

Akademik wikiler üçüncü taraf wiki, erişim kontrolü, içerik onayı ve araştırma analizi gibi özelliklere daha fazla önem verilerek akademik bağlamda kullanılmak içindir.

MediaWiki'nin diğer üçüncü taraf kullanımları için lütfen Hizmet merkezine bakın.

Bilgi Paylaşımı
Birçok akademik wiki, Uzantı:Semantic MediaWiki kullanıyor ve verileri paylaşmak için semantic web kullanıyor. MediaWiki API, diğer sitelerden veri madenciliği yapmak için de kullanılabilir; Cron gibi bir programlayıcı programla birlikte kullanıldığında, yarı otomatik veri dağıtımına yol açabilir.

Vampir Modeli
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.
