[[Image:VikidiaLogo1.png|thumb|Vikidia's [[logotype|Logo]].]]
'''Vikidia''' is an [[encyclopedia]] made with a [[wiki]], using [[mediawiki]]. Its goal is to be readable by a child from 8 to 13 years old as well as allowing easy comprehension to people learning French, Italian, Spanish and English. 

It has been initiated in November 2006 and has reached 16 000 articles in [[February]] 2014 in French. English language was started in March 2014.

== Characteristics ==
As in [[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 is quickly removed by the site's administrators.

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