Mindmap of the Wikimedia movement (2019)

The Wikimedia movement is the totality of people, activities, and values which revolve around Wikimedia sites and projects:

a collection of values shared by individuals (freedom of speech, knowledge for everyone, community sharing etc.);
a collection of activities (conferences, workshops, wikiacademies etc.);
a collection of organizations (Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia chapters etc.), as well as some free electrons (individuals without chapters) and similar-minded organizations.

Shared values

a collection of values shared by individuals (freedom of speech, knowledge for everyone, community sharing etc.);

Shared projects

a collection of activities around Wikimedia projects:
- Wikipedia, in more than 303 language versions,
- other content related wikis, such as Wikisource, Wikibooks or Wikidata,
- 'backstage' wikis or organisational wikis, such as this Meta-Wiki,
- conferences, workshops, wikiacademies etc. (offline activities);

Wikimedia organizations

a collection of organizations, as well as some free electrons (individuals acting outside any group) and similar-minded organizations:

The Wikimedia Foundation

The owner of the trademark Wikimedia is the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF). Linked to the WMF are the Wikimedia Foundation's own organs and committees:

board
staff
advisory board
Independent Committees installed by the WMF board

Wikimedia stakeholders

More generally speaking, Wikimedia stakeholders may also be part of the Wikimedia movement, i.e. readers of Wikimedia content, donors, schools, GLAM , similar-minded institutions, and companies co-operating with the Wikimedia Foundation or other Wikimedia organizations.
