For instance, would a Russian Kids' Wikipedia carefully avoid "promotion of homosexuality" as their law now demands (to pick one salient example amongst thousands).
Yes it would.
Though this has been bounced about as a project for many years, with a few reasonable examples being implemented (invariably having issues for long term maintenance), it is a difficult and debatable business. The topic of LGBT is a good test, as making educational materials available to children addressing sexuality and gender is always controversial, and at the same time there is no doubt that it is needed.
P.S. The Wellcome Collection in London has a free, year long, exhibition on sexology. Worth dropping in and pondering how this type of educational material can or should be made available to children and young adults via open knowledge. http://wellcomecollection.org/events/stt-tour-institute-sexology
