Survey introduction

The following text will be on the landing page of the survey

Welcome!

With this survey, the 2030 Movement Brand Project team invites your feedback on proposals for movement names based on our best-known brand, Wikipedia. The proposed names apply to the movement, the affiliates and the Foundation. No changes are being proposed to the wiki project names or designs. Your input will help determine which elements of the different proposals should be removed, refined and recombined to create a proposal that will move to the design phase.

About the 2030 Movement Brand Project

Our free knowledge projects are created by a global movement. Since 2003, we have used the term "Wikimedia" to refer to this movement. The 2030 Movement Brand Project is creating a proposal for movement names and designs based on our best-known brand, Wikipedia. The names and designs generated by the project will be presented to the Board of Trustees. If approved, they will be offered to affiliates to opt in and will be used by the Wikimedia Foundation.

This survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Answers may be provided in any language. Data will be made anonymous for individual respondents and published on Meta-Wiki, along with a report synthesizing the data.

This survey will be open from 16 June - 6th July.

For more information see the project page on Meta-Wiki or email brandproject(_AT_)wikimedia.org.

Thank you for your time!
