To get started, you may


 * Take a guided tour and learn to edit.
 * Visit a (kind of) random project.
 * Browse Wikiversity, or visit a portal corresponding to your educational level: pre-school, primary, secondary, tertiary, non-formal education.
 * Find out about research activities on Wikiversity.
 * Explore Wikiversity with the links to your left.


 * Read an introduction for teachers and find out how to write an educational resource for Wikiversity.
 * Give feedback about your initial observations.
 * Discuss Wikiversity issues or ask questions at the colloquium.

You do not need to be an educator to edit. You only need to be bold to contribute and to experiment with the sandbox or your userpage. See you around Wikiversity! --Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 21:16, 30 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi there!
 * I came from Wikiversity in Portuguese-Brazil. I am trying to put in practice a MOOC framework that works in Portuguese. Thank you! Aarrigo (discuss • contribs) 21:24, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't know why, and I am not certain about this, but I think you are required to use English on this wiki. I think the rule exists because we cannot judge whether the pages violate rules (copyright, doxing living persons, ect.) Perhaps you could make a MOOC on teaching Portuguese to English-speakers?--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 00:02, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am able to create a MOOC teaching Portuguese. However, my goal is to translate an existing Portuguese course into English. Thank you! Aarrigo (discuss • contribs) 20:09, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Informal welcome
I noticed that you used. I am surprised that worked, because the standard form is. Also, I read somewhere that we are not supposed to use, even though that also creates a header. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 21:15, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Rules regarding foreign languages on English Wikiversity
Just for fun I asked Gemini ChatBot:

Does wikiversity allow pages not in English language?

No, Wikiversity primarily allows content in the language of the specific Wikiversity. For example, the English Wikiversity requires content to be in English, with some exceptions for teaching materials.

Here's a breakdown of Wikiversity's language policy:


 * Main language: Each Wikiversity has a main language. Content on that Wikiversity should be in that language.
 * Teaching other languages: An exception is made for content that teaches another language to English speakers (on the English Wikiversity for instance).
 * Multilingual content: For some learning resources, multiple languages might be necessary. In such cases, translations can be added as subpages using the template.

If you want to create content in a different language, you can find a list of available Wikiversity languages on Meta-Wikiversity: meta:Wikiversity. There's also Wikiversity Beta, which supports additional languages.--(quoting Gemini)

Here is a link to the Portuguese Wikiversity:

Another option is to write it in English. Here are the details:
 * Language policy explains that there is a template that you can use to translate from your language into English. See Translations
