Academic hub/de

Akademische Wikis sind Drittanbieter-Wikis, sie sollen in einem akademischen Kontext mit einem größeren Schwerpunkt auf Funktionen wie Zugriffskontrolle, Inhaltsgenehmigung und Forschungsanalyse verwendet werden.

Für andere Drittanbieter-Anwendungen von MediaWiki siehe Sysadmin hub.

Wissensaustausch
Many academic wikis are using Extension:Semantic MediaWiki 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.

Vampir 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.

Authentifizierung

 * Vector
 * A Polished skin for MediaWiki that comes bundled by default. Enable Extension:Vector for advanced functionality for this skin.

Navigation & Suche

 * Extension:BreadCrumbs2
 * Navigation aid when traversing the wiki, usually used to display and highlight a category hierarchy.

 * Extension:SphinxSearch
 * An alternative to the default search engine, lightweight but allowing more robust indexing of content through the third-party Sphinx engine.
 * Alternatives:
 * Extension:Lucene-search -- more complicated but more robust still, used by large wikis like Wikipedia


 * Extension:Semantic MediaWiki
 * Allows you to add meta data to content in wiki articles and providing a query language for dynamically retrieving content including properties and lists of articles.
