</div> <p>The <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Glossary#Wikimedia_Movement" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Glossary">Wikimedia Movement</a> is an international, sociocultural movement, whose vision is to bring <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Glossary#Free_knowledge" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Glossary">free knowledge</a> to the whole world. This Wikimedia Movement Charter (“Charter”) lays out the values, principles, and policy basis for Wikimedia Movement structures, including the roles and responsibilities of existing and new entities, and of decision-making bodies in the shared vision of free knowledge. This Charter applies to everyone and everything officially associated with the Wikimedia Movement: all individual and institutional participants, movement entities, <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Glossary#Wikimedia_projects" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Glossary">projects</a>, and online and offline spaces. </p><p>By defining the Wikimedia Movement and its values, this Charter aims to make it easier for stakeholders to collaborate with each other in a manner which fosters the Wikimedia Movement vision. This will help: </p> <ul><li>produce a strategy for growth, expansion, and future possibilities to secure continued creation and availability of free knowledge;</li> <li>guide decision-making;</li> <li>reduce conflict and promote harmony and constructive engagement between stakeholders</li> <li>safeguard donor rights, and the financial interests of various entities comprising the Wikimedia Movement; and</li> <li>provide a sense of belonging.</li></ul> <p>This Charter may be amended if needed, according to the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter#Amendment" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter">Amendment</a> section. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Wikimedia_Movement_Principles_and_Values" data-mw-thread-id="h-Wikimedia_Movement_Principles_and_Values"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Wikimedia_Movement_Principles_and_Values"></span>Wikimedia Movement Principles and Values<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Wikimedia_Movement_Principles_and_Values"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Movement_Charter&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Wikimedia Movement Principles and Values"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Wikimedia Movement is based on and embraces a factual, verifiable, open, and inclusive approach to knowledge-sharing. All decision-making throughout the Wikimedia Movement needs to be made on the basis of and reflect these shared principles and values. </p><p>These shared principles include the ones already present at the Wikimedia Movement’s origin — free and open licensing, self-organization and collaboration, and factual and verifiable information — and extend to those shared values that are necessary to develop for our future. These principles and values recognize sharing of knowledge as a deeply collaborative endeavor. </p><p>The Wikimedia Movement is a diverse movement, yet the movement embraces three <b>fundamental principles</b>. These fundamental principles are: </p><p><b>Free and open licensing</b> </p><p>The Wikimedia Movement uses open licensing to share everything it produces, including, but not limited to, text, media, data, and software for further use, distribution, and improvement. Some external content shared under a variety of licenses are also made available for use under open licensing. The Wikimedia Movement is committed to deepening its vision by expanding the realms of free knowledge, by integrating new and evolving forms of knowledge, and by growing diversity of content. </p><p><b>Self-organization and collaboration</b> </p><p>The Wikimedia Movement is based on distributed leadership. Starting with the base of volunteers, the Wikimedia Movement entrusts the vast majority of decisions and policy-making to individual and institutional members at the most immediate or the lowest possible level of participation. Online and offline communities across the world generally make decisions for themselves, through the principle of <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Glossary#Subsidiarity" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Glossary">subsidiarity</a>. The Wikimedia Movement invites creativity, assuming responsibility, and collaboration in solving problems and implementing the values of this Charter. </p><p><b>Factual and verifiable information</b> </p><p>The Wikimedia Movement’s content aims to represent reality. Definitions of notability or neutrality might vary across different parts of the Wikimedia Movement, but the goal is to provide knowledge of high quality. The Wikimedia Movement cherishes sources, peer review and consensus. The Wikimedia Movement actively avoids all biases, knowledge gaps, and misinformation and disinformation. </p><p>In addition to the three fundamental principles, this Charter recognizes <b>values</b> that are central to good governance. These values are: </p><p><b>Autonomy</b> </p><p>The Wikimedia Movement strives to operate independently, focused on and guided by its free knowledge vision, and unobstructed by bias or favoritism. The Wikimedia Movement refuses to allow commercial, political, other monetary, or promotional influences to compromise its vision in any manner whatsoever. </p><p><b>Equity</b> </p><p>The Wikimedia Movement recognizes that many communities and their members face diverse challenges to knowledge equity. The Wikimedia Movement strives to empower these communities and their members to overcome historical, social, political, and other forms of knowledge inequality. The Wikimedia Movement takes active measures, such as allocating <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Glossary#Resources" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Glossary">resources</a>, to promote and achieve equity in knowledge through decentralized governance and community empowerment. </p><p><b>Inclusivity</b> </p><p>The Wikimedia projects are developed in many languages, reflecting many regions and cultures. All activities are based on mutual respect for the diversity of the participants of the Wikimedia Movement. This respect is enforced through measures to support safety and inclusion. The Wikimedia Movement provides a diverse common space, where everyone who shares in the vision and values of the Wikimedia Movement can participate and co-create. This inclusive space promotes accessibility through assistive technology for diverse special needs. </p><p><b>Safety</b> </p><p>The Wikimedia Movement prioritizes the well-being, security, and privacy of its participants. The Wikimedia Movement seeks to ensure a safe environment that fosters diversity, inclusion, equity, and cooperation, which are necessary for participation in free knowledge in the online information ecosystem. It is a priority of the Wikimedia Movement to seek to ensure safety in both online and offline spaces. This priority is advanced by implementing and enforcing comprehensive codes of conduct, and investing resources necessary to support these activities. </p><p><b>Accountability</b> </p><p>The Wikimedia Movement holds itself accountable through community leadership as represented within Wikimedia projects and <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter#Wikimedia_Movement_Bodies" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter">Wikimedia Movement Bodies</a>. This accountability is implemented through transparent decision-making, dialogue, public notice, reporting of activities, and upholding a <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Glossary#Care_Responsibility" class="extiw" title="m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Glossary">Care Responsibility</a>. </p><p><b>Resilience</b> </p><p>The Wikimedia Movement thrives through innovation and experimentation, and constantly renews its vision of what a free knowledge platform can be, while continuing to respect the values and principles of this Charter. The Wikimedia Movement pursues effective strategies and practices to fulfill its vision, and supports and drives these strategies and practices with meaningful metrics-based evidence where possible. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Individual_contributors" data-mw-thread-id="h-Individual_contributors"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Individual_contributors"></span>Individual contributors<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Individual_contributors"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Movement_Charter&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Individual contributors"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Individual contributors are the core of the Wikimedia Movement.
