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 projects (Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, Wikinews, Wikiquote, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, Wikisource, Wikispecies, Wikiversity, Wikibooks, Incubator, 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.

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

    • other content related wikis, such as Wikisource, Wikibooks or Wikidata,
    • 'backstage' wikis or organisational wikis, such as this Meta-Wiki,

  • staff
  • advisory board
  • Independent Committees installed by the WMF board

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.
