Centro académico
Los wikis académicos son third-party wikis destinados a ser utilizados en un contexto académico con un mayor énfasis en características como el control de acceso, la aprobación de contenidos y el análisis de la investigación.
Para otros usos de terceros de MediaWiki, véase el Centro del administrador de sistemas.
Compartiendo conocimiento
Many academic wikis are using Extensión:SemanticMediaWiki 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.
Control de acceso
Creación de cuentas
Modelo vampiro
El modelo vampiro consiste de dos reglas:
- sólo usuarios registrados pueden editar
- sólo usuarios registrados pueden crear cuentas
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.
