Wikimedia history
 |  This page is currently a draft. More information pertaining to this may be available on the talk page. Translation admins: Normally, drafts should not be marked for translation. |
The purpose of this page is to collect and organize a history of the Wikimedia universe (projects, communities, organizations, etc.).
There have been other attempts in the past at establishing timelines about specific topics. This project aims to use a higher-level approach.
