The Wikimedia movement consists of the people and groups of people sharing common goals and activities with regard to creating and supporting free knowledge educative content.
Owner of the trademark Wikimedia is the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF). Linked to the WMF are:
- Its own organs and committees:
- board
- advisory board
- committees installed by the WMF board
- Wikimedia Projects (wiki websites, sister projects):
- Wikipedia, in more than 250 language versions
- other content related wikis
- 'backstage' wikis or organization wikis, such as this Meta Wiki
- Wikimedia affiliates:
- National Wikimedia Chapters, with the umbrella Wikimedia Chapters Association
- Wikimedia Thematic Organisations
- Wikimedia User Groups
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 organizations).
