Welcome to the Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki, where the Wikimedia Foundation and its related entities make available to the public multiple types of governance and policy related materials.

Welcome

Thank you for being here!

This wiki does not exactly follow the same rules as the other Wikimedia projects, since it is not open to all for editing, and in case of disagreement, the mechanism for making decisions will be handled by the Wikimedia Foundation staff or Board of Trustees.

It is managed by Wikimedia Foundation staff and contractors, primarily within the Communications and Legal departments.

Scope

Main page: Wikimedia:Scope

This wiki makes publicly available multiple governance and policy related materials from the Wikimedia Foundation, such as:

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees documentation, such as:
- Minutes

Official Wikimedia Foundation documentation, such as:
Official Wikimedia Endowment documentation, such as:
- Charters
- Policies
Official Wikimedia Enterprise documentation, such as:
- General cost sharing and operating agreements
- Specific license agreements

It also stores the archives of the no longer actively used or maintained Foundation Wiki content.
