Wikimedia thematic organizations
Wikimedia thematic organizations are independent organizations founded to support and promote the Wikimedia projects within a specified focal area. 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". 2 thematic organisations currently exist in nearly every continent of the world.
This page lists current and planned thematic organizations. Please see the Step-by-step thematic organization creation guide and the Thematic organizations FAQ for more information. The Affiliations Committee exists to aid the creation of, and to support, thematic organizations.
