ウィキメディア利用者 グループ/命名の指針
| 背景 | 基準 | 例 |
これらウィキメディア運動の提携団体の命名ガイドラインは提携団体委員会 が提言し、その基本にはウィキメディア財団の法務部ならびにコミュニティ支援 チームが寄せた意見と指針があります。
For protection of the Wikimedia brands and trademarks, names of user groups must be approved before recognition, and any groups that wish to use “Wikimedia” trademarks in their names must receive approval before broadly using the name.
Permission to use a name is provided through a group's agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. Before signing an agreement, a group must have their name approved by the Affiliations Committee with Wikimedia Foundation's Legal and Community Advocacy team input and assistance. After considering your group's suggestions, the naming scheme of other organizations, the composition and goals of your group, the Affiliations Committee might suggest a different name from that in your original proposal. Once an affiliate is approved through the Affiliations Committee, a group will receive an agreement that explains the roles and responsibilities as a user group, thematic organization, or chapter. You can see a sample Wikimedia User Group Agreement, Thematic Organization Agreement, and Chapter Agreement.

これらガイドラインの作成にあたり、ウィキメディア財団の法務部ならびにコミュニティ支援チームが推奨する規則4点に大まかに基づいています。
- Avoidance of Confusion -- This approach helps to protect the Organizations from legal actions which are actually intended to target the Wikimedia Foundation. In the past, due to confusion by plaintiffs, Chapters have mistakenly received legal complaints and have been forced to defend (successfully) against costly lawsuits for content on Wikimedia projects in their languages. The media has had similar difficulty differentiating between the Wikimedia Foundation, Chapters, and the Wikimedia movement in general. The Wikimedia Foundation believes that this naming policy helps to avoid the potential (and wrong) misperception that movement affiliates are somehow legally responsible for the content that appears on a Wikimedia project.
- Accuracy -- A descriptive name may more accurately reflect the focus of an affiliate. Using “Wikimedia” in the name may lead to confusion when multiple affiliates wish to focus on the same topic area within different Wikimedia projects (e.g. “Wikipedia Editors for Military History” vs. “WikiSource Editors for Military History”).
- Avoidance of Brand Dilution -- The Wikimedia brand is valuable, and represents the tremendous amount of hard work and goodwill created by Wikimedia community. Therefore, we should fully and carefully consider the nature and purpose of each group that operates under the “Wikimedia” trademark on a case-by-case basis.
- Avoidance of Exclusivity (Not applicable to chapters) -- This approach helps to avoid the appearance that a particular thematic organization or user group exclusively represents the entire topic area throughout the movement. Thematic organizations and user groups may overlap with another group (e.g., History vs. Scandinavian History vs. Military History), and a user is not obligated to join an affiliate if she or he wants to edit an article within that affiliate's focus area. The Wikimedia Foundation encourages names that allow a multiplicity of groups to pursue our shared mission.
