EcuRed is a Cuban online encyclopedia built on MediaWiki software, the same software that ProleWiki and Wikipedia both use. Launched on 13 December 2010, as of 2025 the site hosts over 279,000 reference articles, biographies and academic works.[1]
The name, according to EcuRed itself, comes from the Spanish word "ecumene" which translates to world, specifically the part of the world that is inhabited by humankind.[1] The latter half of the name, "Red" means "Net" in Spanish.[2]
