'''Wikispecies – ''free species directory''''' – is an open, free {{tag|directory}} of species.  The goal of the [[wiki]] site is to become an extensive {{tag|database}} for {{tag|taxonomy}} as a tool for {{tag|Biology|biologists}}.

In March 2006, Wikispecies had versions in thirty-two (32) different [[:Category:Wiki Language|languages]], and by October 2012, that had increased to sixty-seven (67) languages.  However, unlike the multilingual conventions of other {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF) projects, all Wikispecies language versions are sub-pages of the primary '<tt>Species.Wikimedia.org</tt>' domain, in a similar method as the [[Wikimedia Commons]].
