The Wikimedia Affiliations Committee wiki (AffCom), formerly known as the Wikimedia Chapters Committee wiki (ChapCom), is a private workspace wiki site for the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) Affiliations Committee (formerly known as the Chapters Committee). The Affiliations Committee is a Wikimedia community committee entrusted with advising the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees on the approval of new movement affiliates: national or subnational chapters, thematic organisations and user groups.

The Committee was created on 15 January 2006, by a resolution of the Board of Trustees, along with several other Wikimedia Foundation committees. Its original mandate included coordination of the development of Wikimedia chapters, which at the time were at an early stage of organisation, as well as facilitating communication among the chapters and between chapters and the Wikimedia Foundation.

In 2012, following a community discussion and a resulting Board of Trustees' resolution, the scope of the Committee was expanded to include thematic organisations and user groups. In accordance with the resolution, the Committee drafted its charter which was officially approved by the Board in August, finalising the transition into the Affiliations Committee.

The Chapcom wiki is live and active, but requires log-in to view all pages apart from the main front page. Regular contributors to the wiki include: Greg Varnum.

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]
