Wikimedia
Wikimedia is the collective name for a group of inter-related projects, including Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikibooks, and others, which aim to use the collaborative power of the Internet, and the wiki concept, to create and share free knowledge of all kinds. Genee wéi Wikipedia ass Wikimedia e Markennumm a soll net fir Projete benotzt ginn déi net offiziell ënnerstëtzt ginn. Wikimedia gëtt och als verkierzt Form vun The Wikimedia Foundation benotzt.


 * The Wikimedia Foundation is the non-profit organization which funds and manages these projects. For more information, see the Foundation's homepage
 * The term Wikimedia servers is often used, referring to the computer hardware on which all Wikimedia projects are hosted. The servers are run by employees of the Wikimedia Foundation, many of whom also work on the MediaWiki software (see below). The Wikimedia servers are not available for hosting projects not run by the Wikimedia Foundation. See also: Wikimedia servers.
 * The Wikimedia Meta-Wiki, commonly referred to as Meta, is the wiki used to discuss issues which affect all Wikimedia projects. See also: About.
 * Meta should not be confused with MetaWiki, a search engine that is not part of the Wikimedia group of projects.
 * Wikimedia Deutschland, Wikimedia Russia etc. are not part of Wikimedia Foundation, but usually are friends of it.
