The Wikimedia movement is a worldwide community of people who improve projects like Wikipedia.[1][2] They work together to create and manage these projects.[3] They use open standards and software to create and manage them.[4]
It was originally made by volunteers who edit Wikipedia. The movement has grown to include other projects such as Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. It also includes volunteers who are software engineers and developers. They help make the software called MediaWiki better. MediaWiki is what is used to run the Wikimedia projects.
