Who we are

At Wikimedia UK we are passionate and committed to open knowledge and free access, not just in the UK but on a global scale. Our staff, trustees, community leaders, contributors and volunteers are all committed to the vision of a world where everyone shares in the sum of all knowledge.

Our principles reflect a key set of values

• We are transparent in how we work
• We promote the provision of high quality open knowledge for all
• We promote the use of free licences, formats and sources that support open knowledge
• We encourage, involve and recognise the contribution of our volunteer community
• We support, encourage and promote diversity within our community
• We are an independent UK charity that engages actively with the global movement
• We learn from and openly share our learning with the global Wikimedia movement

Not all wikis are Wikimedia
The word “wiki” refers to a website built using collaborative editing software. Projects with no past or existing affiliation with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, such as Wikileaks and wikiHow, also use the term. Although these sites use “wiki” in their name, they have nothing to do with Wikimedia.
