This Wikimedia Toolforge article is
referring to a site which seems
not to be, or include, a wiki.
However, it still refers to, or is
pertinent to the subject of wikis.

Wikimedia Toolforge, originally known as Wikimedia Tool Labs, is not a wiki site, although the layout of some of its pages may appear to mimic the style of other wiki sites. Toolforge, as it is more commonly known, is a hosting environment for MediaWiki developers working on services that provide value to the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) movement. These services allow software developers to easily perform ad hoc analytics, administer bots, run webservices, and generally create tools, to help editors and other volunteers in their work. The environment also includes access to a variety of data services and statistics. Hosted by Wikimedia Cloud VPS, the Toolforge infrastructure is supported by a dedicated group of Wikimedia Foundation staff and volunteers.

Its primary URL is https://Toolforge.org (previously Tools.WMFLabs.org). The Toolforge code is released under the GNU General Public License, version 3 (GPLv3+), whereas its textual documentation is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 Unported license (CC-BY-SA 3.0).

Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (WMF), founded 20 June 2003, is the wiki company and non-profit charitable organization[1] responsible for a very large number (over 900 in total) of very active collaborative user-generated wiki sites, which are grouped together by primary subject and known as a 'project'; as well as the wiki engine software initially developed by themselves, known as MediaWiki. The Wikimedia Foundations' major wiki projects started with Wikipedia (encyclopedia), and subsequently expanded to include Wiktionary (dictionary and thesaurus), Wikiquote (quotations), Wikibooks (open content textbooks), Wikisource (free content primary-source and secondary-source texts), Wikinews (news source), Wikiversity (open learning community), Wikispecies (free species directory), and many others as listed below. Most of these 'projects' have separate wiki site versions written in many different languages. There is also the Wikimedia Commons (shared multilingual repository for documents, images, videos, and other media and text files), and the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki (multilingual coordination of issues common to all Wikimedia projects). The Wikimedia Foundations' global reach is nurtured in its Incubator, where all new language versions for all projects are initiated and developed before being launched as a new separate wiki site. The Foundations' most recent major multi-language wiki project, Wikivoyage (a 'travelpedia'), was inducted to WMF in late 2012 (having being independently established in 2006). Also launched in 2012 was Wikidata (a major multilingual central space knowledge base for structured data used on all WMF projects). The newest WMF project is Wikifunctions, launched in mid 2023, is a library of code functions in many different programming languages.

Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. is a member of the Open Source Initiative (OSI). Furthermore, the Wikimedia Foundation is a United States 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, granted April 2005, and headquartered at 1 Montgomery Street, Suite 1600, San Francisco County, State of California 94104, United States of America.[2]
