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 Sysadmin hub.

Partage de la connaissance
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.

Modèle vampire
Le "modèle vampire"se compose de deux règles:
 * 1) seul les utilisateurs enregistrés peuvent éditer
 * 2) seul les utilisateurs enregistrés peuvent créer des comptes

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.

Authentification

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

Recherche et Navigation

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