Monday Connect: Wikipedia Wow

[cogdog]

Bittersweet wow are allowed Steve. I vaguely remember knowing the Wiki Book Creator tool was there but never used it.

In a twist of internet irony I did a quick search for references to it, amongst which as an OEG Connect discussion thread you opened previously!

What Happened to Wikipedia Book Creator?

This isn’t really running, but since we’re talking about Wikipedia, I really miss Wikipedia’s Book Creator tool. It was a really easy to use feature that let someone add a bunch of Wikipedia articles to a list, and would output a book where each article was a chapter. The formatting worked really well and everything, so it was a way to produce an OER textbook on the fly even on obscure topics. Does anyone know whether they’d ever restore it?

There’s not much in the link to alternatives either About all you have now is the ability to download articles as PDF and maybe sequence them somehow.

C’est la web. Thanks for chiming in.
