WikiInfants are a type of user that really doesn't know about Wikipedia and sister projects, mostly these users are old people and young people.

Characteristics and behaviour

• They only read Wikipedia and don't edit.

• Some of them also don't visit Wikipedia because their teacher (in case of young people) or another person said to them "Wikipedia is not a reliable source" (Example: Ms. Ava prohibits their students from going to Wikipedia and rejects any work were Wikipedia was used).

• They don't know that Wikipedia can be edited, though there's a button in the site, still think that Wikipedia cannot be edited (Example: John says to Jane that he edited Wikipedia but Jane thinks that John is a hacker).

• They type "wikipedia.com" instead of "wikipedia.org" because they think that .com is the only TLD that exists.

• Getting confused after seeing that there's other projects other than Wikipedia
