Hello,
Myself, I have a presentation which shows a basic wiki principle; I noticed that showing the same thing onwiki would make me jumping too much from page to page. Showing Wikipedia functionalities then onwiki I call "Wikipedia surfing" (version history, talk pages etc.). If it is a workshop with the intention to make people edit then I create a "pseudo encyclopedia" on user subpages. That's a number of simplified Wikipedia articles with hardly any markup. From article to article, the complexity and amount of wikisyntax grows. The newbies in groups of 2 correct the language and content (I put in some errors for them). I prefer that because editing real WP makes people anxious, and I want to be undisturbed with the newbies. Kind regards Ziko

Have a quick question for some work I'm doing on Wikipedia literacy:
What resources are folks using to teach others how to edit Wikipedia? At Wikipedia Academies etc?
Thanks in anticipation :)
Best, Heather.
