Txikpedia is born, a Wikipedia adapted for children
- Wikipedia has created a new website for 8-13 year olds. It has been observed that users of this age range enter the free encyclopedia almost every day. The usual tendency is also not to find the material you are looking for, or not to understand well what is there. They want to fix that.
The content that has existed until now in Vikidia has been reorganized, expanded and improved to launch the project. The project already has 1,000 entries. On the contrary, the creators have highlighted that it is a relatively unknown project and that Txikpedia starts from this need. “We had problems with the Basque community to make these contents visible and many of the technical innovations we have today could not be used in this version.”
In addition, several problems with the server have put the Vikidia project at risk. It is considered necessary to provide creative and solutions to Koldo Bigu, who says that the concern arose. “We wanted to address three issues: visibility, technical issues and sustainability of the project. In this way, we agreed with Vikidia to bring the content to Wikipedia in a tab of our own. Thus, each article can have two versions: general and written for children.”
Here is the link to explore the new website.
