Notes

  1. ↑ Limited to non-wiki website related policies.
  2. ↑ Limited to financial documentation specific to internal operations.
  3. ↑ Limited to official policies approved by organization leadership, and not necessarily supporting materials or operations documentation.
  4. ↑ Limited to past campaigns and reports.
  5. ↑ While not consider duplicated content, several sites have information on the same topic - but specific to that site's audience.

Publicly available materials

Whenever possible, materials developed by the Wikimedia Foundation should be made publicly available both as a part of our commitment to transparency and to support the capacity building of other organizations - particularly Wikimedia movement affiliates.

Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki

Policies, procedures, and related guidelines which reflect the official position of the Wikimedia Foundation - such that editing by anyone of the materials may unintentionally change their intent - should be posted here on Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki (where editing of the materials will be limited). Materials posted on Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki should not be duplicated on either Meta-Wiki or Wikimedia Foundation Office Wiki - instead please make use of page redirects.

Placement on Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki

See also: Wikimedia:Manual of style#Namespace placement

Use of the main namespace should be avoided. Materials should be placed within their appropriate namespace:

Legal
Legal documentation and related material
Policy
Policies and related procedures
Minutes
Board of Trustees meeting minutes
Resolutions
Board of Trustees resolutions

Meta-Wiki

Materials which are more informational in nature - or do not carry the same risks associated with public editing - should be posted and made available on Meta-Wiki. Materials posted on Meta-Wiki should not be duplicated on either Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki or Wikimedia Foundation Office Wiki - instead please make use of page redirects.

Placement on Meta-Wiki

Generally, materials should be posted as either:

  1. subpages of the relevant topic (team, project, etc.) or;
  2. provided a top-level page if unrelated to a specific department, team, project, or activity.
