Comment on A generational gap on Wikipedia - 91% of WP admins started editing before 2010

Wiki Jr. A Wikipedia dedicated to kids culture. Kids contribute and edit, have a mentor, put it on college applications. When they turn 18 can migrate account to real Wikipedia.

I don’t know if it still exist, but that used to be a thing. I was pretty active on there during primary school.

Possibly, though Wikipedia and all of its related projects have an 18+ requirement. Likely because of copyright issues, as under 18 year olds legally can't give up a share-alike license on the content they make.

Note that this requirement is not really enforced

It is if you reveal you're underaged. But if you keep quiet about it, no one will know. That's true for the entirety of the internet.

Can they just give it to the public domain? I’m sure Wikipedia would other copy left systems, but for kid content I could see it being less important.

It's possible. I'm not a copyright expert, so I have no idea how things like that work and what the potential legal pitfalls are.
