- Summary:
- More than a list of topics to be consumed by users, Wikipedia enables a unique view into how content in its articles has been selected, agreed, disagreed, and changed over time by invested collaborators. As an entry point of wider knowledge production practices, its content, architecture, and governance afford digital objects to be investigated in a variety of ways. This guide addresses the main composition of Wikipedia's build-up, its negotiated construction process, and its accessible features that permit data to be retrieved and worked within research practices. It also summarizes how Wikipedia data have been structured and made meaningful for study, particularly within the digital humanities.
