Vikidia is a free online encyclopedia based on wiki, content has a general theme adapted for children and teenagers, and is open to the participation of people of all ages.
One of the users who joined this project, Mathias Damour (registered under the name Astirmays), differed in that the texts should be corrected a priori instead of being created and edited by the children themselves, not believing that they would see a closing agreement in the aforementioned discussion. That is why on November 17, 2006, autonomously and independently of the Wikimedia Foundation, the Vikidia wiki was launched.
