- Much of the world's knowledge is yet to be documented on our sites and it requires new ways to integrate and verify sources.

- Trends in misinformation are increasing and may challenge the ability for Wikimedians to find trustworthy sources of knowledge.
- 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.

- Readers in seven of our most active countries have little understanding of how Wikipedia works, is structured, is funded, and how content is created.
