Actions

Steps a workflow can run in Wikiversity.

  • Search learning resourcesSearch the full text of one Wikiversity edition and get back the courses, lessons and other resources that match, each with the sentence the phrase was found in. Searches the learning material by default, so the project's own admin pages stay out of the way. This is the way in: every other action takes a title, and this is where a title comes from.
  • Get a learning resourceRead one Wikiversity page as plain text, along with its list of sections, for handing to a model to summarise, translate or turn into a lesson plan. Narrow to one section to pull just the exercises or just the reading list. A hub page such as a School or a Portal is a shelf of links rather than prose, so it comes back with no text and List what a course contains is the action for those.
  • Get a resource summaryWhat a resource is, in one line and one paragraph, with its lead picture. This is the card view: enough to put a resource in a digest, a Slack message or an email without reading the whole page first.
  • List what a course containsThe syllabus: every lesson, unit and further resource a course, school, portal or topic holds, in the order the page itself puts them in. Reads both of the ways Wikiversity builds a course, so a syllabus made of subpages and one made of links both come back whole, and each part says whether it has been written yet, so the gaps in a course are visible too.
  • List the resources in a categoryEverything filed under one subject category, which is how Wikiversity groups material across courses: every resource in Category:Physics, or everything added to a category since a date. The result also says how many the category holds altogether, so a workflow knows whether it has seen all of it. Type the name with or without the Category: prefix.
  • List the categories a resource is inWhere one resource is filed, which is how you find the material next to it: read a lesson's categories, then list the resources in one of them to get everything else on that subject. The wiki's hidden maintenance categories, which say how a page is being looked after rather than what it is about, are left out unless you ask for them.
  • List what links to a resourceWhich resources point at this one. A lesson rarely names the course it belongs to, but the course links to the lesson, so this is the way back up from a page to the material built on it, and the way to see how widely a resource is used before changing it. Pages that link to it under an older name are included, and each says which name it used.
  • Get a resource in other languagesThe same resource on the other Wikiversity editions, with the title it has in each. Each one reports its edition code, which is exactly what the Wikiversity edition field of every other action takes, so a workflow can follow one straight into reading the translated page.
  • Get a resource's edit historyWho changed one resource, when, and what they said they were doing. Use it to tell whether a course is still maintained, to credit the people who wrote it, or to watch a single page a workflow depends on. Narrow it to a window with the two date fields.
  • List recent changesWhat has been edited across a whole Wikiversity edition lately, newest first. Run it on a schedule to post the new learning resources of the week, or filter it down to one part of the wiki to watch a faculty.
