Enciclopèdia.cat vs Vikidia

Enciclopèdia.cat is a free Catalan-language reference portal covering subjects such as language, history, economics, art, politics, geography, science, and nature. It lists 45 reference works and more than 800,000 articles, spanning dictionaries, general and specialist encyclopedias, thematic works, atlases, chronologies, statistics, and yearbooks. Search one or more words across the portal or within a selected work, then order results using factors such as title, work, and frequency. Readers can also explore the Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana through a topic-based knowledge tree. Its digital edition has more than 360,000 articles and 100,000 illustrations, along with some audio and video. Specialist titles include references to sports and music and a cinema dictionary. The portal provides citation tools and educator resources, with text and images and continuously updated content. Registration adds access to +Enciclopèdia content, editor chat, and tools to sort and filter search results. The service is available on the web, not as a mobile app; the publisher suggests a home-screen shortcut as an alternative. Support is available by phone at 934 126 124 and by email at [email protected].

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.
