Wiktionary is a project to create a multilingual free content dictionary in every language. This means each project seeks to use a particular language to define all words in ''all'' languages. It actually aims to be much more extensive than a typical dictionary, including thesauri, rhymes, translations, audio pronunciations, etymologies, and quotations. The project started in December 2002, and as of May 2013 is available in over 150 languages with over 16,000,000 entries in all. The largest language edition is English, with 3,380,000 |

Then Malagasy, French, Chinese, and Lithuanian follow. All four of them have more than 600,000 entries each, while 24 other languages have more than 100,000 entries each. 73 other languages have at least 1,000 entries. |

Wikidata was launched in October 2012 and aims to create a free knowledge base about the world that can be read and edited by humans and machines alike. It provides data in all the languages of the Wikimedia projects, and allow for the central access to data in a similar vein as Wikimedia Commons does for multimedia files. |

Meta-Wiki is a project used as a central hub for various coordination and organization tasks, such as discussions affecting multiple wikis or planning upcoming events. It has been used for a wide range of purposes, from documenting [[m:Conflicting Wikipedia philosophies|wiki philosophy]] to submitting [[m:Grants:Index|grant proposals]]. Other notable uses of Meta include [[m:Requests for new languages|"Requests for new languages"]] and the public center for [[m:Stewards|steward]] activity and some [[m:Fundraising|fundraising-related discussions]]. Like Wikidata and Commons, it aims to be multilingual. |

The Wikimedia Incubator is a wiki used for developing new wikis. In other words, it is where new editions of Wikimedia content projects (Wikipedia, Wiktionary, etc.) are created before going "live" to a subdomain like en.wikipedia.org or fr.wikipedia.org. Each wiki being created there is called a "test wiki", and is identified by a code for the project family (such as "Wp" for Wikipedia) and its [[w:ISO 639|ISO 639 code]]. For example, the Votic Wikipedia is being incubated as [[incubator:Wp/vot|Wp/vot]]. Note that Wikisource and Wikiversity have separate "incubators", [[oldwikisource:|www.wikisource.org]] and [[betawikiversity:|Beta Wikiversity]], respectively. Like Meta, Commons, and Wikidata, it aims to have its policies translated into many languages. |

Wikimedia Labs is a project aimed to help volunteers get involved in Wikimedia operations and software development, and to make it easier for system administrators and developers to try out improvements to Wikimedia infrastructure, including MediaWiki. Wikitech is a site for internal technical documentation of Wikimedia infrastructure, and it is connected with the Wikimedia Labs project. |

Our projects are the core of the Wikimedia movement. All major projects of the Wikimedia Foundation are collaboratively developed by users around the world using the MediaWiki software. All contributions are released under a free Creative Commons license, meaning that any project content may be freely used, edited, copied, and redistributed, subject to the terms of the license. A full listing of Wikimedia projects is available here: Special:SiteMatrix.
Please note: while other sites use the MediaWiki software (often giving them a similar visual appearance) or have a name that includes "Wiki-" or "-pedia", only the projects listed below are part of the Wikimedia Foundation.
