The Wikipedia Story | Ep 5 | Wikimania

Katie's been in this world, this weird and wacky Wikiverse, for about six months now. But there's one thing she still doesn't understand. Wikipedia's more than just a URL, a web page on your screen. It's a community where people form a deep connection with the world...right? But when the power's switched off and the screen goes black, does that bond stay put or does it flicker and disappear? In this episode, Katie's taking you somewhere she hopes to find the answer. She imagines what it's like to be at Wikimania, the annual wiki conference, where the dots are connected between your username and your face, and the strength of that bond is tested in the real world.
