Academic hub

Academic wikis are third-party wikis meant to be used in an academic context with a greater emphasis on features like access control, content approval, and research analysis.

For other third-party uses of MediaWiki, please see the Sysadmin hub.

Vampire Model
The vampire model consists of two rules: 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 his/her students. Because MediaWiki logs all account activity it is (relatively) easy to track accountability for creation of spam/bot accounts.
