Key Insight

1. The Western encyclopedia model is not serving the evolving needs of people who want to learn.
2. Knowledge sharing has become highly social across the globe.
3. Much of the world's knowledge is yet to be documented on our sites and it requires new ways to integrate and verify sources.
4. The discovery and sharing of trusted information have historically continued to evolve.
5. Trends in misinformation are increasing and may challenge the ability for Wikimedians to find trustworthy sources of knowledge.
6. Mobile will continue to grow. Products will evolve and use new technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality. These will change how we create, present, and distribute knowledge.
7. As the world population undergoes major shifts, the Wikimedia movement has an opportunity to help improve the knowledge available in more places and to more people.
8. Readers in seven of our most active countries have little understanding of how Wikipedia works, is structured, is funded, and how content is created.
