Wikiversity is a Wikimedia Foundation project devoted to learning resources, learning projects, and research for use in all levels, types, and styles of education from pre-school to university, including professional training and informal learning. We invite teachers, students, and researchers to join us in creating open educational resources and collaborative learning communities.

MediaWiki
The function of MediaWiki (the software of Wikiversity) is described at the MediaWiki User's Guide in Meta-wiki.
If you suspect a software bug, ask for feedback at the Colloquium, and then report it using Wikimedia Phabricator. This is the only way to get MediaWiki developers to notice your bug reports.
