It is common for students to use Wikipedia for their work, either as a source of information or by copying it directly. In this study, an experiment was carried out with first-year university audiovisual degree students for four consecutive years; they started working as Wikipedia editors in Basque as a method for developing the skills to be worked on in a subject. Among them, they have created or developed 412 in-depth articles. Once the exercise was over, in the questionnaire given to the pupils, and according to the interview with some pupils and teachers, this exercise has helped them to work on different skills, including written communication and documentation work. The fact that it has been made public has generated motivation and responsibility on the part of the students. When editing Wikipedia articles, students have worked with greater responsibility and depth, understanding the importance of working with reliable sources.
