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. [1]
As of December 2022, Vikidia has articles in French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Armenian, Greek, Catalan, Basque, and Sicilian. For example, the section in French contains 37.1 thousand articles, in English - 4.2 thousand articles, in Russian - a few hundred.[2]
