== WIKIPEDIA MODERN RESTYLING AND REFRESHING ==
Hi Wikipedia and Wikimedia content creators and readers, I wanted to create this topic discussion, asking about a modern and refreshing restyling of Wikipedia layout, which I think its too classic. Considering we are in 2026, I think Wikipedia needs a good modern layout, like other social or news apps. Thanks a lot for your attention [[User:Andre il sommo|Andre il sommo]] ([[User talk:Andre il sommo|talk]]) 11:17, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Andre il sommo|Andre il sommo]] Hello, you may submit your suggestion through the [[:m:Community_Wishlist|Community Wishlist]]. [[User:SCP-2000|SCP-2000]] ([[User talk:SCP-2000|talk]]) 15:02, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
== [[Policy:Wikimedia Foundation Non-Discrimination Policy]] ==
Like with [[TAIV]], could someone create a shortcut for this? [[NDP]] isn't taken. [[User:lp0 on fire|<span style="color:#c56030;background:inherit;">lp0 on fire</span>]] [[User talk:lp0 on fire|<span style="color:#64cea0;background:inherit">()</span>]] 12:30, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
:Actually, it might be better to make a redirect to [[Resolution:Nondiscrimination]] since the policy page is only about employees and contractors, whereas the resolution also applies to all editors so is much more likely to be linked to. Not sure what a good redirect would be; maybe just [[Nondiscrimination]] in mainspace? [[User:lp0 on fire|<span style="color:#c56030;background:inherit;">lp0 on fire</span>]] [[User talk:lp0 on fire|<span style="color:#64cea0;background:inherit">()</span>]] 13:05, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
::What do you imagine the use cases being? The redirect would need to be to the policy. The resolution created the initial version of the policy, but it has since been updated. The [[UCoC]] addresses the community. --[[User:GVarnum-WMF|Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him]]] ([[User talk:GVarnum-WMF|talk]]) 03:17, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
:::Hello, it's quite possible I've misunderstood the scope of the resolution. The policy seems to apply exclusively to WMF staff and contractors, but I was under the impression that resolutions are also binding, and this resolution contains very broad statements about discriminating agains {{tq|all prospective users and employees}}; I believe that has relevance on-wiki; for example if an admin blocks someone for discriminatory reasons that are in line with local policy, it's much easier to argue they've violated the nondiscrimination resolution than the UCoC. Forgive me if I've completely misunderstood the situation. [[User:lp0 on fire|<span style="color:#c56030;background:inherit;">lp0 on fire</span>]] [[User talk:lp0 on fire|<span style="color:#64cea0;background:inherit">()</span>]] 08:00, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
::::@[[User:Lp0 on fire|Lp0 on fire]]: The resolution is binding in that it created the first version of that policy. The resolution on the [[Resolution:Delegation of policy-making authority|Delegation of policy-making authority]] allows for the CEO to make updates to policies in addition to the board's ability to make updates. As such, the update made to the policy [https://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Policy:Wikimedia_Foundation_Non-Discrimination_Policy&diff=prev&oldid=110587 in March 2017] by the Legal department replaces the version of the policy introduced in the initial resolution. There are a number of updates routinely made to policies for a wide range of legal or governance related reasons. Only the most recent version of any given policy takes precedence - it would be rather confusing and difficult to navigate if we had to enforce every version of every policy. So, the resolution serves as a historical document on the initial creation of the policy, but the version of the policy included within the resolution has been replaced by an updated version. That is why our policies are maintained separately from resolutions as they require updates, whereas resolutions represent a specific moment of time and not meant to be updated (beyond basic copyedit or link maintenance). I hope that helps clarify why the version of the nondiscrimination policy within that resolution is more of a historical/governance document and not the actual currently enforced version of the policy. --[[User:GVarnum-WMF|Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him]]] ([[User talk:GVarnum-WMF|talk]]) 18:55, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

== Forcing WMF employees to use Salesforce Inc is an ethical violation ==
Apparently ''(post deleted by the author)'' WMF has been, and still is, ''forcing'' WMF employees to use an [[w:enshittification|enshittified]] non-[[w:free and open-source software|FOSS]], non-community-controlled communicator [[w:Slack (software)|Slack]] owned by a 100-billion dollar US corporation [[w:Salesforce|Salesforce, Inc.]] for internal communication in relation to WMF work activities. If correct, then this is an ethical violation that is ''completely unacceptable''. We are not here to subsidise the concentration of power in the hands of authoritarian undemocratic organisations like Salesforce Inc.
According to the current consensus in the article [[w:Salesforce, Inc.|Salesforce, Inc.]], it even looks like Salesforce Inc. is supporting [[w:democratic backsliding in the United States|democratic backsliding in the United States]]: {{tq|In October 2025, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff declared his avid support of Donald Trump and urged him to deploy the National Guard to San Francisco ... That same month, Salesforce pitched the [[:en:Second_presidency_of_Donald_Trump|Trump administration]] on ways that Salesforce's AI tools could help [[:en:United_States_Immigration_and_Customs_Enforcement|Immigration and Customs Enforcement]] (ICE) triple its staff to support the administration's [[:en:Deportation_in_the_second_Trump_administration|mass deportation campaign]].}}
Should the Wikimedia community accept that WMF employees are forced to support [[w:democratic backsliding in the United States|democratic backsliding in the United States]]? The answer is obvious: ''No!''
The #TyrannyOfConvenience ("I can click without thinking and it works") is not an excuse for forcing Salesforce Inc/Slack on WMF employees. From a practical point of view, the [[w:matrix (protocol)|matrix protocol]], which is being [https://www.theregister.com/on-prem/2026/02/09/matrix-messaging-gaining-ground-in-government-it/4663932 switched to] by the [[w:International Criminal Court|International Criminal Court]] via [[w:ZenDiS|ZenDiS]], is available to all French civil servants [[fr:LaSuite|in Tchap chat and Visio videoconferencing]], and [https://element.io/blog/unicc-selects-element-for-secure-communications is being used] by the [[w:United Nations International Computing Centre|United Nations International Computing Centre]], has plenty of FOSS server software and client software available, and for situations that need high levels of confidentiality, is very likely more secure than Slack, because [[w:security by obscurity|security by obscurity]] {{tq|is discouraged and not recommended by standards bodies}}. There are non-{{Q|Q58821126}}-run matrix-protocol servers listed at https://servers.joinmatrix.org, and WMF techies could quite easily run a matrix homeserver with account creation restricted to WMF Board/employees only; this would allow self-managed communication both internally to WMF and externally, just like email.
{{ping|Laurentius}} and other Board members: Could you please tell us when the WMF is planning for a transition from Slack to an ethically acceptable communicator such as one using the [[w:matrix (protocol)|matrix protocol]]?

<div class="mw-translate-fuzzy">
Considérant que le conseil considère qu'un groupe consultatif pourrait être un complément énorme à l'efficacité du conseil d'administration officiel, du comité et du personnel,
</div>
Il est décidé par la présente résolution que : Le conseil d'administration accepte de créer un conseil consultatif pour servir de complément précieux au personnel et au conseil d'administration. Le conseil consultatif est un groupe d'individus, désigné par le conseil d'administration dans le but d'offrir des conseils et du soutien sur un large éventail de questions concernant la fondation Wikimedia.
Ces questions sont susceptibles d'inclure des secteurs tels que les partenariats, les relations publiques, le financement, la technologie, l'administration, les sujets internationaux et plus.
Nomination : la nomination devrait être faite avec une majorité de soutiens des membres du conseil d'administration. Les nominations doivent viser à mettre en place un conseil consultatif bien équilibré qui puisse être employé efficacement pour apporter un certain nombre d'avantages importants, parmi lesquels : Contacts, expertise, perspectives, prestige, initiatives stratégiques, investissements financiers.
Fonctions du conseil consultatif : Le conseil consultatif ne sera généralement pas impliqué dans les questions qui touchent à l'administration de l'organisation à but non lucratif et devrait, en règle générale laisser de tels sujets au conseil (conseil d'administration). Néanmoins il appartiendra au conseil et au conseiller consultatif de convenir de la gamme et de l'ampleur des fonctions à exécuter par le conseiller consultatif. Chaque membre du conseil consultatif devrait recevoir une charte énonçant ce que l'on attend de sa participation à l'organisation.
Compensation : Les membres du conseil consultatif ne seront pas financièrement compensés pour leur activité.
Durée de service : Les conseillers consultatifs seront nommés par le conseil d'administration pour un an, le renouvellement étant possible.

The [[<tvar name="officialmarks">Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia official marks</tvar>|Wikimedia marks]] represent free educational content developed through an open and collaborative process. [[<tvar name="tmprotectionlink">#FAQ-tmprotection</tvar>|Trademark protection]] reinforces the connection between the Wikimedia marks and the projects they represent. The protection serves to ensure that the marks are only used for activities that promote our [[<tvar name="missionstatement">Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement</tvar>|mission]].
<!--T:12-->
When readers see the [[<tvar name="wikipedialogo">:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg</tvar>|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia. Likewise, people should be able to rely on their impression of Wikimedia involvement when they see the [[<tvar name="wikimedialogo">:File:Wikimedia-logo.svg</tvar>|Foundation mark]] or one of the Wikimedia logos on websites or products.
<!--T:13-->
The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.
<!--T:14-->
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[<tvar name="1">#why-use-purpose</tvar>|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
<!--T:15-->
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[<tvar name="wikilicenselink">#QuickLicense</tvar>|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[<tvar name="wikiwiki">:wikt:wikiwiki</tvar>|wikiwiki]]!

<translate><!--T:30-->
Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[<tvar name="missionstatement">Mission statement</tvar>|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.</translate>

<translate>
<!--T:32-->
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
<!--T:33-->
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

Outside the Wikimedia sites, you may only use Wikimedia wordmarks in their full form and properly capitalized (e.g., "Wikibooks"). The logos should not be modified without separate permission from the Wikimedia Foundation. We need to make sure that the logos remain distinctive from other marks.

When reasonable, please include this notice when you use a mark outside the Wikimedia sites:
<!--T:44-->
"[Wikimedia Wordmark / name of logo as listed [[<tvar name="officialmarks">Wikimedia official marks</tvar>|here]]] is a trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation and is used with the permission of the Wikimedia Foundation. We are not endorsed by or affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation."
<!--T:45-->
The notice should appear near the first use of a Wikimedia mark. One notice is enough if you display multiple marks, provided the notice refers to all of them. You do not need to display this notice if you are using the Community logo under [[<tvar name="section34link">#policy-communitylogo</tvar>|Section 3.4]].
<!--T:46-->
If the mark will primarily appear on a mobile screen or another medium with limited visual space, you may instead use a trademark symbol (<tvar name="1">™</tvar>) with the mark to show that it is a Wikimedia trademark. For size and location of the trademark symbol, please see the [[<tvar name="VIguidelines">Special:MyLanguage/Visual identity guidelines</tvar>|Visual Identity Guidelines]]. When you use a symbol due to limited space and there are additional pages to your material, please include the notice in the text of a prominent page (e.g., most mobile apps have an "about us" section and may display terms during installation).
<!--T:47-->
Regardless of whether you use a notice or a trademark symbol to identify your use of Wikimedia marks, please make sure that your use does not suggest endorsement by or affiliation with the Wikimedia Foundation.

Die [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia official marks|Wikimedia merke]] verteenwoordig vrye opvoedkundige inhoud, wat deur 'n open en gesamentlike proses ontwikkel is.
[[#FAQ-tmprotection|Handelsmerk beskerming]] versterk die verband tussen Wikimedia merke en die projekte wat hulle verteenwoordig. Die beskerming dien aan om te vrerseker dat die merke slegs vir aktiwiteite gebruik word wat ons [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|missie]] bevorder.
As lesers die [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|legkaart aardbol merk]] in die boonste linkerkantste hoek van 'n webblad sien, wat soos Wikipedia lyk, dan moet hulle seker kan wees dat hulle na neutrale, noemenswaardige en hoë kwaliteite inhoud kyk, wat die gevolg is van die streng en deursigtige redigering proses op Wikipedia. Net so ook, moet mense kan staatmaak op hulle indruk van Wikipedia betrokkenheid as hulle die [[:File:Wikimedia-logo.svg|Stigting merk]], of een van die Wikimedia logos, op webbladsye of produkte sien.
Die welwillendheid wat die Wikimedia merke ondersteun was geskep deur 'n produktiewe en passievolle vrywilliger gemeenskap. Die Wikimedia gemeenskap het die voorste aanlyn bron ontwikkel vir vrye opvoedkundige inhoud. Om die welwillendheid wat hulle geskep het te bewaar, het ons hierdie beleid volgens die gemeenskap se rigting voorberei. Die gevolglike beleid verseker dat alle gebruike van die merke ooreenstemmend is met ons missie, en die Wikimedia beweging bevorder.

Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The members of the Wikimedia community share a common [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|mission]] of creating and distributing free educational content.

They are also [[#policy-onwmsites|free to use all Wikimedia marks on the Wikimedia sites]] and for [[#policy-communityfocused|Wikimedia community-focused events]], as well as [[#policy-outreach|outreach work]] without obtaining a trademark license. Community members can also easily fill out a [[#QuickLicense|Quick License]] for certain other community uses, such as Wikimedia photo events.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

When you use a symbol due to limited space and there are additional pages to your material, please include the notice in the text of a prominent page (e.g., most mobile apps have an "about us" section and may display terms during installation).

The [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia official marks|Wikimedia marks]] represent free educational content developed through an open and collaborative process. [[#FAQ-tmprotection|Trademark protection]] reinforces the connection between the Wikimedia marks and the projects they represent. The protection serves to ensure that the marks are only used for activities that promote our [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|mission]].
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
When readers see the [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia. Likewise, people should be able to rely on their impression of Wikimedia involvement when they see the [[:File:Wikimedia-logo.svg|Foundation mark]] or one of the Wikimedia logos on websites or products.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

The [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia official marks|Wikimedia marks]] represent free educational content developed through an open and collaborative process. [[#FAQ-tmprotection|Trademark protection]] reinforces the connection between the Wikimedia marks and the projects they represent. The protection serves to ensure that the marks are only used for activities that promote our [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|mission]].
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
When readers see the [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia. Likewise, people should be able to rely on their impression of Wikimedia involvement when they see the [[:File:Wikimedia-logo.svg|Foundation mark]] or one of the Wikimedia logos on websites or products.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

The [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia official marks|Wikimedia marks]] represent free educational content developed through an open and collaborative process.

When readers see the [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia.

The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community.

To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.

To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

The [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia official marks|Wikimedia marks]] represent free educational content developed through an open and collaborative process. [[#FAQ-tmprotection|Trademark protection]] reinforces the connection between the Wikimedia marks and the projects they represent. The protection serves to ensure that the marks are only used for activities that promote our [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|mission]].
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
When readers see the [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia. Likewise, people should be able to rely on their impression of Wikimedia involvement when they see the [[:File:Wikimedia-logo.svg|Foundation mark]] or one of the Wikimedia logos on websites or products.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

The members of the Wikimedia community share a common [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|mission]] of creating and distributing free educational content.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

They are also [[#policy-onwmsites|free to use all Wikimedia marks on the Wikimedia sites]] and for [[#policy-communityfocused|Wikimedia community-focused events]], as well as [[#policy-outreach|outreach work]] without obtaining a trademark license. Community members can also easily fill out a [[#QuickLicense|Quick License]] for certain other community uses, such as Wikimedia photo events. We generally give priority to community requests for uses that [[#policy-domains|require an ordinary trademark license]].

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia official marks|Wikimedia marks]] represent free educational content developed through an open and collaborative process. [[#FAQ-tmprotection|Trademark protection]] reinforces the connection between the Wikimedia marks and the projects they represent. The protection serves to ensure that the marks are only used for activities that promote our [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|mission]].
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
When readers see the [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia. Likewise, people should be able to rely on their impression of Wikimedia involvement when they see the [[:File:Wikimedia-logo.svg|Foundation mark]] or one of the Wikimedia logos on websites or products.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

Wordmarks can sometimes have a primary meaning, in addition to representing a brand (like the words "[[:wikt:apple|apple]]" or "[[:wikt:facebook|facebook]]"). Our wordmarks were not real words before our projects were created. But we will interpret fair use broadly to include the use of our wordmarks when you clearly mean to talk about something other than the Wikimedia sites.

When readers see the [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia.

The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

The [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia official marks|Wikimedia marks]] represent free educational content developed through an open and collaborative process. [[#FAQ-tmprotection|Trademark protection]] reinforces the connection between the Wikimedia marks and the projects they represent. The protection serves to ensure that the marks are only used for activities that promote our [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|mission]].
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
When readers see the [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia. Likewise, people should be able to rely on their impression of Wikimedia involvement when they see the [[:File:Wikimedia-logo.svg|Foundation mark]] or one of the Wikimedia logos on websites or products.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

The [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia official marks|Wikimedia marks]] represent free educational content developed through an open and collaborative process. [[#FAQ-tmprotection|Trademark protection]] reinforces the connection between the Wikimedia marks and the projects they represent. The protection serves to ensure that the marks are only used for activities that promote our [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|mission]].
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
When readers see the [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia. Likewise, people should be able to rely on their impression of Wikimedia involvement when they see the [[:File:Wikimedia-logo.svg|Foundation mark]] or one of the Wikimedia logos on websites or products.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

The members of the Wikimedia community share a common [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|mission]] of creating and distributing free educational content.

They are also [[#policy-onwmsites|free to use all Wikimedia marks on the Wikimedia sites]] and for [[#policy-communityfocused|Wikimedia community-focused events]], as well as [[#policy-outreach|outreach work]] without obtaining a trademark license. Community members can also easily fill out a [[#QuickLicense|Quick License]] for certain other community uses, such as Wikimedia photo events.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

==== {{Anchor|policy-others}}<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">1.4.3 Other organizations or individuals</span> ====
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

</div>

If the mark will primarily appear on a mobile screen or another medium with limited visual space, you may instead use a trademark symbol (™) with the mark to show that it is a Wikimedia trademark. For size and location of the trademark symbol, please see the [[Special:MyLanguage/Visual identity guidelines|Visual Identity Guidelines]]. When you use a symbol due to limited space and there are additional pages to your material, please include the notice in the text of a prominent page (e.g., most mobile apps have an "about us" section and may display terms during installation).

The [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia official marks|Wikimedia marks]] represent free educational content developed through an open and collaborative process. [[#FAQ-tmprotection|Trademark protection]] reinforces the connection between the Wikimedia marks and the projects they represent. The protection serves to ensure that the marks are only used for activities that promote our [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|mission]].
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
When readers see the [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia. Likewise, people should be able to rely on their impression of Wikimedia involvement when they see the [[:File:Wikimedia-logo.svg|Foundation mark]] or one of the Wikimedia logos on websites or products.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

The [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia official marks|Wikimedia marks]] represent free educational content developed through an open and collaborative process. [[#FAQ-tmprotection|Trademark protection]] reinforces the connection between the Wikimedia marks and the projects they represent. The protection serves to ensure that the marks are only used for activities that promote our [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|mission]].
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
When readers see the [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia. Likewise, people should be able to rely on their impression of Wikimedia involvement when they see the [[:File:Wikimedia-logo.svg|Foundation mark]] or one of the Wikimedia logos on websites or products.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

Wordmarks can sometimes have a primary meaning, in addition to representing a brand (like the words "[[:wikt:apple|apple]]" or "[[:wikt:facebook|facebook]]"). Our wordmarks were not real words before our projects were created.

The protection serves to ensure that the marks are only used for activities that promote our [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|mission]].

When readers see the [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia. Likewise, people should be able to rely on their impression of Wikimedia involvement when they see the [[:File:Wikimedia-logo.svg|Foundation mark]] or one of the Wikimedia logos on websites or products.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

The [[Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia official marks|Wikimedia marks]] represent free educational content developed through an open and collaborative process. [[#FAQ-tmprotection|Trademark protection]] reinforces the connection between the Wikimedia marks and the projects they represent. The protection serves to ensure that the marks are only used for activities that promote our [[Special:MyLanguage/Mission statement|mission]].
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
When readers see the [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia. Likewise, people should be able to rely on their impression of Wikimedia involvement when they see the [[:File:Wikimedia-logo.svg|Foundation mark]] or one of the Wikimedia logos on websites or products.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.

When readers see the [[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|puzzle globe mark]] in the top left corner of a website that looks like Wikipedia, they should be confident that they are looking at neutral, notable, and high-quality content that is the result of the rigorous and transparent editing process on Wikipedia. Likewise, people should be able to rely on their impression of Wikimedia involvement when they see the [[:File:Wikimedia-logo.svg|Foundation mark]] or one of the Wikimedia logos on websites or products.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The goodwill supporting the Wikimedia marks has been generated by a prolific and passionate volunteer community. The Wikimedia community has developed the leading online source of free educational content. To preserve the goodwill they have created, we have prepared this policy according to the community's direction. The resulting policy ensures that all uses of the marks are consistent with our mission and promote the Wikimedia movement.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Our mission of sharing knowledge relies on and encourages free speech. To make it really easy to share knowledge, this trademark policy embraces [[#why-use-purpose|all free-speech protections built into trademark law]] to the broadest extent possible. The trademark policy also seeks to minimize the hurdles of trademark licensing. We are particularly liberal in approving uses by the Wikimedia community that are closely aligned with our mission.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To further make it easier for community members to use the marks, this policy introduces some creative trademark solutions. It allows community members to use the Wikimedia marks without a trademark license for Wikimedia community-focused events and outreach work. The policy further introduces a "[[#QuickLicense|Quick License]]" for other common uses that community members can quickly fill out and email to us. It is really [[:wikt:wikiwiki|wikiwiki]]!

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Chapters, user groups, and thematic organizations recognized by Wikimedia Foundation are called "movement organizations". They are independent from the Wikimedia Foundation and support and promote the Wikimedia sites. These groups enter into agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, which allow them to use certain Wikimedia marks. Any use should primarily further Wikimedia's [[Mission statement|mission]]. To use the marks beyond the specified scope of its agreement, an organization can ask for a separate trademark license or simply comply with this policy when the use does not require a license. An organization can, of course, always select its own names, logos, and domain names. It does not have to use our marks.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Wikimedia sites are so well known that authors and script writers frequently want to portray them in books and movies. Similarly, other companies may want to reuse content from Wikimedia sites in web or mobile applications. In doing so, these individuals and companies may want to display our marks in movies, books, apps, or other media.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
As long as users are not confused about the source of those works, this type of use can promote the Wikimedia sites and mission by expanding the reach of free knowledge and potentially recruiting new Wikimedia community members. But it is important that the Wikimedia marks are not misleadingly used to market others' products because that will confuse Wikimedia users. We therefore have to be careful when licensing the marks for these purposes. For example, when licensing the marks to an organization that has its own logo, we need to make sure that it does not display any Wikimedia mark more prominently than its own logo or name. It is helpful to always have a proper separation between the organization's name and logo and any Wikimedia mark. Users should clearly see that the organization's products or services are provided by that other organization rather than the Wikimedia Foundation. Such use is never allowed without a trademark license.
