WikiQueer:Wikimedia

Wikimedia refers to the movement encompassing the totality of people, activities and values which revolve around Wikimedia sites and projects, or anyone who makes a valuable contribution to Wikimedia's free knowledge initiative:
 * a collection of values shared by individuals (freedom of speech, knowledge for everyone, community sharing, etc.)
 * a collection of activities such as:
 * Wikimedia projects, including:
 * Wikipedia
 * Wikimedia Commons
 * Wikinews
 * Wikiquote
 * Conferences
 * Workshops
 * Wikiacademies
 * a collection of organizations (Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia chapters etc.), as well as some free electrons (individuals without chapters) and similar-minded organizations

Through relationships with individual projects, WikiProjects and editors - and thanks to their various licenses - content from their projects can be transcluded into WikiQueer articles.

While there is no official partnership between Aequalitas Project, Wikimedia Foundation and/or WikiQueer - the WikiQueer community is also proud to be significant contributors in areas of the Wikimedia movement.
