Wikimedia user groups are groups of Wikimedia users who support and promote the Wikimedia projects in the offline world by organizing meetups and other projects. User groups may or may not be legally incorporated entities. Like the Wikimedia Foundation, they aim to "empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally". There are currently 152 user groups.
This page lists current and planned user groups. Please see the step-by-step user group creation guide for more information. The Affiliations Committee exists to aid the creation of, and to support, user groups.
If you have plans for user groups, please contact the Committee at affcomlists.wikimedia.org.
