Thank you, Gerard. This is certainly exciting news.

As I understand it, Comprende! invokes data from WMF projects such as Wikidata (you match the structure of your questions with Wikidata items) or Commons (you can label Commons images to be used in questions), whereas Quiz lets everything be based on user input. It would certainly be an improvement, but user input should still be in the picture, imho.

By the way, here is a help page on Quiz for those who are not familiar with the extension:

https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Help:Quiz

Feel free to test the questions. The responses are not saved.

Hoi,
Magnus just blogged about using questions based on Wikidata information... I do not know the Quiz extension. How do the two compare.
Thanks,

One small concern: Would we able to enable the Quiz extension in case of such a move? It is one of the distinctive features of VW.

Incubator was actually cranked up slightly before Beta Wikiversity.

https://beta.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?oldid=1 08:59, 15 August 2006

Wikisource is 2,5 years older https://wikisource.org/w/index.php?oldid=3 00:51, 24 November 2003

The more precise answer for having Beta Wikiversity from its supporters typically is: "Wikiversity is different project than other wikis so it needs its own site."

This doesn't sound like a valid reason. If it at least explained WHAT is different, I

If there aren't any stronger arguments for keeping the Beta Wikiversity, then it should be moved to the common Incubator. I couldn't find any good arguments against moving to Incubator at the previous discussions:

(To alleviate any doubt—I'm only talking about Wikiversity and not Wikisource or any other project.)
