Copying content from Wikiversity[edit]
Content copied from Wikiversity to Wikipedia needs to conform to the context in Wikipedia, as well as criteria including WP:Notability and WP:Reliable sources. Also, as content is by default licensed under the Attribution-ShareAlike license, an attribution should be made, at least by mentioning the source article in the edit summary.
Using a Wikiversity page as reference in Wikipedia[edit]
As content of a wiki that anyone can edit, a Wikiversity page is not identified as a reliable source in Wikipedia. Therefore, usage of Wikiversity as a reference in Wikipedia is almost always not advisable.
