An article in Wikidocumentaries is either a collaborative created article or a testimonial. This page deals with the topic article, that is collaborative created. Articles written as memoirs or testimonials are defined on the testimonials page.
There can be two kinds of local articles:
- Local article about a topic, which may not meet the Wikipedia notability criteria. These articles may later be imported to Wikipedia. New articles will be created in Wikidocumentaries, unless the user navigates to Wikipedia to create it.
- Testimonial article is a wiki article that can only be edited by the original creator. This is used for first hand accounts and recollections. The administrators may remove or edit offensive content. This format may not be used for any other kind of content.

Technology
- Local articles can be created in the local wiki. They will have entries in the Wikibase to be able to connect them to different topics.
- Visual editor needs to be installed.
Requirements for displaying an article in the topic page
- As a user I get an article about the current topic
- If the topic exists in Wikidata, the article to be displayed or added should be in Wikipedia.
- If the topic exists in Wikidocumentaries only, the article is stored in Wikidocumentaries.
- The links of a Wikipedia article are replaced with links within Wikidocumentaries, using the QID. This can be too expensive, then a resolver can redirect the link to a QID-based address.
- The links in a Wikidocumentaries article have QIDs and Wikidocs-QIDs natively
- All language versions of a Wikidocumentaries article are stored as separate wiki pages in Wikidocumentaries.
- Navigating the articles in different languages in the Wikidocumentaries MediaWiki needs a solution to connect them together
- Editing a Wikipedia article happens in Wikipedia primarily
- The user can add links to Wikidocumentaries topics in Wikipedia articles
- The link is stored locally as an annotation. How is the annotation stored? As a data table? including the annotated text, the target item, the language and the contributor of the link. Must check compatibility with OpenAnnotations.
- The user should be able to use a modified Visual Editor to edit (local) articles.
