[[Image:VikidiaLogo1.png|thumb|Vikidia's [[logo]].]]

'''Vikidia''' is an [[encyclopedia]] made with a [[wiki]], using [[MediaWiki]].  Its goals are to be readable by a child from 8 to 13 years old and to allow easy understanding by people learning [[French language|French]], [[Italian language|Italian]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[English language|English]], [[Russian language|Russian]], [[Catalan language|Catalan]], [[Basque language|Basque]], [[Armenian language|Armenian]] and [[Sicilian language|Sicilian]].

It was inspired by '''WikiKids''', a [[Dutch language|Dutch]] website, much in the style of the larger and better known [[Wikipedia]]. The major difference is in the fact that these sites are meant for minors. They are for children from the age of 8 to about 13 and everything in between, although there is no age limit.

== Characteristics ==
As inLike [[Wikipedia]], Vikidia is an open wiki, so everybody is allowed to edit the articles.   But Vikidia is also a wiki for children, so all inappropriate or shocking content, especially [[vandalism]], is quickly removed by the site's [[administrator]]s.

Vikidia helps children to contribute, and some schools and teachers<ref> from [[France]], [[Belgium]] and [[Quebec]]</ref> have involved their classes to write articles as a school project.
