The Wikimedia movement is the totality of people, organizations, activities and values which revolve around Wikimedia sites (such as Wikipedia) and projects, or anyone who makes a valuable contribution to Wikimedia's free knowledge initiative:
- a collection of values shared by individuals (freedom of speech, knowledge for everyone, community sharing etc.; see also foundation principles);
- a collection of activities (Wikimedia projects, conferences, workshops, wikiacademies etc.);
- a collection of organizations (Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia chapters etc.), as well as individuals and similar-minded organizations.
More generally speaking, Wikimedia stakeholders are also part of the Wikimedia movement (readers of Wikimedia content, donors, schools, GLAM, similar-minded institutions, and companies co-operating with the Wikimedia Foundation or other Wikimedia organisations).
