Інфраструктура[edit]
Вирішив перш за все зайнятися "інфраструктурою" Віківерситету, щоб всім було зручно. Навігація, категоризація, практичні шаблони, кнайпа. — Green Zero обг 23:52, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
Логотип[edit]
 укр |  англ |  рос |  грец |
На моє прохання пан Palosirkka створив логотип у SVG-форматі для нашого розділу - File:Wikiversity-logo-uk.svg. Вийшло наче добре. Тут можна порівняти цей логотип з офіційними логотипами інших розділів. — Green Zero обг 13:39, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
Кнопки[edit]
. Сподіваюсь, комусь стануть в пригоді. — Green Zero обг 02:07, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
