The Community Insights Survey is conducted every other year to help the Wikimedia Foundation learn how to better support you, both on- and off-wiki. Information gathered in this survey helps the Foundation evaluate and strengthen its programs and strategies.

Some of the questions you see could be about:

  • The online and offline activities you participate in.
  • Your experience with collaboration, communication, and respectful interaction in the movement.
  • Your awareness of as well as opinions about various Wikimedia programs.
  • General demographic information such as where you live or the languages you speak.

What changed in 2026?

  • We moved the survey from Qualtrics to LimeSurvey, a FOSS survey tool.
  • The survey no longer requires a "double opt-in" with multiple emails; only one email will be sent with the link to the survey. This also means that no reminder emails will be sent to complete the survey.
  • We added sections for respondents who conduct activities on their projects that require extended user rights, and for those who are mentors.
  • We added questions to the Contributors section about significant moments in editors' trajectories, interest in advanced activities, confidence in conducting advanced actions, and ability to navigate the projects.
  • We added questions about device use, Generative AI use, and recognition tool use to better understand the current state of use across Wikimedia communities, and how this intersects with other aspects of the survey (for example, project size or Wikimedian tenure).
