Electronicsthis

Electronicsthis is a term used in online communities to describe a collaborative, wiki-style repository focused on electronics and related disciplines. It functions as a community-edited knowledge base that collects tutorials, reference articles, project logs, and design tips for students, hobbyists, and professionals. The platform emphasizes openness, reproducibility, and practical learning.

Origin and use of the term vary, as electronicsthis has no single founder. The phrase began appearing in maker and electronics forums in the early 2010s and has since been adopted by several independent projects that favor a shared, open approach to content creation. As a concept, it reflects the broader trend toward crowd-sourced technical knowledge and hands-on, project-based education.

Content and governance typically center on pages created and edited by registered contributors, with community moderation and practical citation requirements. Common topics include circuit theory, microcontrollers, sensors, power electronics, PCB design, soldering techniques, and safety practices. Materials are often licensed under open licenses to encourage reuse and adaptation, provided attribution is maintained.

Impact and scope vary across implementations, but electronicsthis generally serves as an accessible resource for beginners and experienced users alike. It supports informal education, enabling readers to learn by reading, experimenting, and documenting their own projects. Critics sometimes point to variable article quality and emphasize the importance of cross-checking information with established sources.
