What it is

Vikidia is a free collaborative online encyclopedia designed mainly for readers and contributors aged 8–13. It runs on the web, and anyone may improve articles, layouts and organization. Articles are expected to be verifiable and neutral, using language and presentation appropriate for that age group. Editing can be anonymous or tied to an account, with earlier versions saved so changes can be restored. Content may be copied, modified and redistributed under CC BY-SA 3.0 and GNU licenses when attribution and license terms are retained. Vikidia supports school projects with guidance, examples and contact information for teachers and students. Its legal information says children are not asked for real names and registration email is used only for technical purposes. The Vikidia association, a French non-profit founded in 2006 and headquartered in Rennes, maintains the site without advertising and accepts donations. Help is available through The Scholar page, chat, Discord and IRC. Hosting is provided by OVH.
