The primary purpose of this table is to identify the current 81 VLE lessons as lying on seven levels (I = introductory, VII = most advanced). These levels reflect dependencies: the top level VII consists of topics for which you should study half-a-dozen other things before attempting.
 
This information then can feed into e.g. training, video scripts, curriculum development. It also shows up areas where the existing material could be reconsidered. Another by-product should be some idea of a "core" training curriculum.
 
==Division by level==
The numbers of lessons on each level are
 
*I = 10, II = 14, III = 15, IV = 22, V = 11, VI = 6, VII = 3.
 
'''Bold''' is used below for lessons considered in the "core curriculum" (67, i.e. excluding 14). The lessons by level, and then alphabetically, are:
 
*'''''Level I''''': '''Editing (A)'''; '''Free Content (A)'''; Link to Wikipedia (B); '''Navigation (A)'''; Other Files (B); '''Parts of an Article (B)'''; '''Reuse (A)'''; '''Search (A)'''; '''Troubleshooting (A)'''; '''Wikipedia Basics (A''').
*'''''Level II''''': '''Accounts (A)'''; '''Categories (A)'''; '''Contacting Wikipedia and Wikimedia (B)'''; '''Content Policy (A)'''; '''Edit Window (A)'''; Free Content (B); '''Images (A)'''; '''Policy Made Simple (A)'''; '''Problem Content (B)'''; Wikimedia Basics (X); '''Wikipedia Basics (B)'''; '''Wikipedia Basics (C)'''; Wikipedia Technical Overview (B); '''WikiProjects (A''').
*'''''Level III''''': '''Accounts (B)'''; '''Categories (B)'''; '''Characters and Tables (A)'''; '''Conflict of Interest (A)'''; '''Deletion (A)'''; '''Images (B)'''; Images (C); '''Policy and Guidelines (B)'''; '''Search and Navigation (B)'''; '''Talk Pages (A)'''; '''The Wikipedia Model (B)'''; Tools and Labs (B); '''User Features and User Space (A)'''; '''Wikipedia Writing (B)'''; '''Wikitext (A)'''.
*'''''Level IV''''': '''Biographies of Living Persons (B)'''; '''Deletion (B)'''; '''Disagreements (A)'''; '''Disambiguation (B)'''; '''Drafting (A)'''; Encyclopedias (B); '''External Links (B)'''; '''How to Ask (A)'''; '''Major and Minor Edits (A)'''; '''Non-article Content (B)'''; Non-Roman Scripts (B); '''Onsite Status (A)'''; '''Orphans and Dead-ends (A)'''; Other Languages (B); '''Page Protection (B)'''; '''Problem Users (A)'''; '''Redirects (B)'''; '''Referencing (A)'''; Reuse (B); '''Starting an Article (A)'''; '''Talk Pages (B)'''; '''Templates (B)'''.
*'''''Level V''''': Article Tagging (A); '''Bans and Blocks (A)'''; '''Conflict of Interest (B)'''; '''Editing (B)'''; '''Handling Content Disputes (B)'''; '''Merges (B)'''; '''Onsite Status (B)'''; '''Page Moves (A)'''; '''Referencing (B)'''; Sister Projects (B); '''Templates (C)'''.
*'''''Level VI''''': Conflict of Interest and Bias (X); '''Formal Dispute Resolution (B)'''; '''Splits and Summary Style (C)'''; '''Starting an Article (B)'''; Templates (X); '''Wikitext (B)'''.
*'''''Level VII''''': '''Appeals (C)'''; '''MediaWiki (C)'''; '''Wikipedia Writing (C)'''.
 
==Notations==
The notations used are:
 
*Column 2: A = introductory level; B = everyday editing level; C = advanced level; X = so you think you are an expert.
*Column 3: R = Useful for any reader; T = wikitext; W = writing; S = social; M = Wikimedia; F = free/open content.

|"In this lesson you will learn how to open a Wikipedia account, and some advantages of editing as a logged-in user.
 
It would be a good idea to read Wikipedia Basics (A) of the Overview Topic before this lesson, but it is not strictly necessary. Parts of an Article (B) of the Content Topic explains how users who are not logged in have their IP numbers recorded in page histories."

Latest revision as of 15:01, 11 October 2016

The primary purpose of this table is to identify the current 81 VLE lessons as lying on seven levels (I = introductory, VII = most advanced). These levels reflect dependencies: the top level VII consists of topics for which you should study half-a-dozen other things before attempting.

This information then can feed into e.g. training, video scripts, curriculum development. It also shows up areas where the existing material could be reconsidered. Another by-product should be some idea of a "core" training curriculum.

Division by level

The numbers of lessons on each level are

  • I = 10, II = 14, III = 15, IV = 22, V = 11, VI = 6, VII = 3.

Bold is used below for lessons considered in the "core curriculum" (67, i.e. excluding 14). The lessons by level, and then alphabetically, are:

  • Level I: Editing (A); Free Content (A); Link to Wikipedia (B); Navigation (A); Other Files (B); Parts of an Article (B); Reuse (A); Search (A); Troubleshooting (A); Wikipedia Basics (A).
  • Level II: Accounts (A); Categories (A); Contacting Wikipedia and Wikimedia (B); Content Policy (A); Edit Window (A); Free Content (B); Images (A); Policy Made Simple (A); Problem Content (B); Wikimedia Basics (X); Wikipedia Basics (B); Wikipedia Basics (C); Wikipedia Technical Overview (B); WikiProjects (A).
  • Level III: Accounts (B); Categories (B); Characters and Tables (A); Conflict of Interest (A); Deletion (A); Images (B); Images (C); Policy and Guidelines (B); Search and Navigation (B); Talk Pages (A); The Wikipedia Model (B); Tools and Labs (B); User Features and User Space (A); Wikipedia Writing (B); Wikitext (A).
  • Level IV: Biographies of Living Persons (B); Deletion (B); Disagreements (A); Disambiguation (B); Drafting (A); Encyclopedias (B); External Links (B); How to Ask (A); Major and Minor Edits (A); Non-article Content (B); Non-Roman Scripts (B); Onsite Status (A); Orphans and Dead-ends (A); Other Languages (B); Page Protection (B); Problem Users (A); Redirects (B); Referencing (A); Reuse (B); Starting an Article (A); Talk Pages (B); Templates (B).
  • Level V: Article Tagging (A); Bans and Blocks (A); Conflict of Interest (B); Editing (B); Handling Content Disputes (B); Merges (B); Onsite Status (B); Page Moves (A); Referencing (B); Sister Projects (B); Templates (C).
  • Level VI: Conflict of Interest and Bias (X); Formal Dispute Resolution (B); Splits and Summary Style (C); Starting an Article (B); Templates (X); Wikitext (B).
  • Level VII: Appeals (C); MediaWiki (C); Wikipedia Writing (C).

Notations

The notations used are:

  • Column 2: A = introductory level; B = everyday editing level; C = advanced level; X = so you think you are an expert.
  • Column 3: R = Useful for any reader; T = wikitext; W = writing; S = social; M = Wikimedia; F = free/open content.
