'''Wikidata''' – ''the free knowledge base that anyone can edit'' – is a vibrant {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF) hosted and maintained [[wiki]] project, launched 29 October {{tag|FoundedIn2012|2012}}.  Primary language of the Wikidata wiki site is {{tag|Wiki English|English}}, translations into other languages is sporadic, irregular, and severely lacking.

<blockquote>'''Wikidata''' is a {{tag|Free content|free}}, {{tag|Collaboration|collaborative}}, {{tag|Wiki Multilingual|multilingual}}, secondary {{tag|database}}, collecting structured data to provide support for [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], [[Wikimedia Commons]], the other [[wiki]]s of the {{Wikidata|Help:Wikimedia|Wikimedia movement}}, and to anyone in the {{tag|Earth|world}}.</blockquote>

Powered by {{tag|MediaWiki}} ''and'' [[Wikibase]], '''Wikimedia Wikidata''' aims to create a free {{tag|knowledge}}-base about the {{tag|Earth|world}} that can be read and [[edit]]ed by [[:Category:Human|humans]] and machines alike.  It will provide {{tag|data}}, in the form of '[[WikiIndex:StructuredData|structured data]]', collectively known as '{{tag|wikidata}}', in all the [[:Category:Wiki Language|languages]] of the {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} {{WMF.org|Our projects|projects}}, and allow for the central access to data in a similar vein as [[Wikimedia Commons]] does for multimedia files.  Wikimedia Wikidata [[WhatIsWiki|wiki site]] uses a {{tag|Wiki MultiLicense|dual licensing}} scheme; quote: "All structured data from the main and property namespace is available under the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication (CC0)|Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication CC0 License}}; text in the other namespaces is available under the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 License}}".
