Most prominent institutional partnerships?
Is there any particular example of a large organization curating any book or collection in Wikibooks? For example, maybe there was an institutional partnership to bring a set of textbooks or training manuals here. Thanks for any project anyone can highlight. 17:05, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
Talk to us about talking.
The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a . The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do: 
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us .
You can read more about on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

Improving the Puzzle Wikibooks Styles.
Hi all , 
I am newcomer and I have a proposal to be made
I love Puzzles (and hence my username and I see that the Wikibooks for Puzzles is somehow lacking of contents.)
I have read the guide for a while and create this account .
I have see the puzzle and think of why not the answer are put on same pages:
Puzzles/Non-scientific puzzles/Boy and Girl
After searching quite a while, I found out that there are a template for hiding text:
As you can see my sandbox, this is my suggestion for improvements.
Hopefully, my improvement are accepted and I can contribute for many years to come ( • ) 06:09, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
Thank you Pi Zero, I think I may cleanup the Puzzles pages a bit but I think I may implement the hidden text for now (shown in my sandbox) as I think that, we don't need to have too many pages of question and answers, which I think may lead to difficulties of cleaning up the pages later on. Also, I may add some rebuses (hieroglyphic puzzles) of my own in the near future. Thanks for your kind input. ( • ) 16:43, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
Cateogry, project or?
I have started a book VCE Physics. VCE stands for Victorian Certificate of Education which encompasses curricula for a variety of subjects, including physics. There seem to be some other VCE books already started (e.g. VCE Chemistry and VCE Specialist Mathematics). So I thought it would be suitable to create a "Category" called VCE to encompass them. But then I read the advice about and thought the VCE Category would be better as a "project". But going to , this seems to be all about Class Projects in seeming contradication to the advice on the categories page which indicates a project would be good to encompass books on related curricula. I'm confused! Please provide advice!
In a related question about categories etc. I've also added a subject category tag of "physics" to the bottom of the VCE Physics main page. But it is not showing up. It is just showing the Subject : Book : VCE Book (I created a "book"). I am not even sure what the purpose of the "Book" is. Surely the main page I created was the "book"... why was I directed by the Categories advice to create a book category?... what is it used for?... how does it relate to the book and/or subjects and/or projects!
I want to do the right thing. I'm academically astute (teach at a university), IT savvy (program in multiple languages etc.) so I am inclined to think the system, at least in relation to the current existing explanations, is objectively unclear... but maybe it will all become clear when someone provides just a little explanation?
Please provide further explainattion of the logic of category, book, project etc. (and, preferably, include advice relating to my situation) it is unclear, to me, from the existing documentation.
