Hi Yury,

Congratulations on enabling the Education Program Extension on Ukrainian Wikipedia! It should make your life on wiki much simpler. 

You mentioned checking out ENWP and GLAMwiki. If you have not done so already, you might also wish to take a look at the documentation on the Education portal on Outreach wiki:

I'm really very excited about this news and wish you all the best!

Anna :)

Hi Yury,

From what I've seen on the English and Arabic Wikipedias, a course page is created for a specific class for a specific time period (semester/term). For example, you might have a History 101 class in the Fall 2014 semester, and a History 101 class for the Spring 2015 semester. Each of these would have a separate course page, even if it was the same curriculum and the same instructor -- mainly because the list of students and articles will be different for each term.

The course page helps organize classes, but can also serve as a historical record of the course and help with cohort analysis with tools like Wikimetrics. So again, it's best to keep the student list there and start a new course page for each term or editing period.

You may also notice that the term is automatically included in the course URL structure on wiki in parentheses (). For example:


Hope that helps!

Dear edu community,

After the Education Program extension was recently enabled on Ukrainian
Wikipedia, the next step for us is to learn how to use it:) And while
there's plenty of useful information about it on English Wikipedia as
well as on Glamwiki, I wasn't lucky enought to find out one thing: are
the course pages (in the Education program: namespace) supposed to be
reused when fresh group of students comes in on the following year?
I.e., do the teachers usually just edit the old course page, remove all
the students and start again with the same page or copy the course plan
into a new page?

Thanks,
Yury Bulka
