Group photos
[edit]To be able to check if a mascot is cute, this section is dedicated to group photos of the group with the cute mascot. It is also meant to show that organisations and teams in the Wikimedia movement support a mascot. Wikimedia organisations and teams can add their group photos to this section to indicate their support for the mascot and the import role it has.
