Wikiversity is a project that supports learning communities, their learning materials, and resulting activities.
Wikiversity articles can be linked from WP articles as described at Help:Interwikimedia links, namely by using a normal wikilink but prepended with "wikiversity:", as in [[wikiversity:Astronomy Project|Astronomy Project]]
which produces Astronomy Project.
Several sister project templates exist for Wikiversity.

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.
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.
