projects</a> such as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia" title="Wikipedia">Wikipedia</a>. As such, it is a <a href="/wiki/Wikimedia_chapter" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikimedia chapter">Wikimedia chapter</a> approved by the <a href="/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation" title="Wikimedia Foundation">Wikimedia Foundation</a> (WMF), which owns and hosts those projects. </p><p>Wikimedia UK started out as <b>Wiki Educational Resources Limited</b> (WER), but due to financial difficulties and other problems the organisation dissolved, and was replaced by <b>Wiki UK Limited</b>. After its first attempt to gain <a href="/wiki/Charitable_status" class="mw-redirect" title="Charitable status">charitable status</a> in 2009 failed, the group subsequently made changes to its charter in order to satisfy the charity criteria, and was recognised as a registered charity in England and Wales in 2011. During the same year, WMUK added full-time staff and established a permanent office in <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a>, England. </p><p>The chapter has several collaborations with museums and other institutions, and has organised events for volunteers aimed at adding content to Foundation projects.
