-A '''MediaWiki Foundation''' is a proposed organization to focus solely on [[MediaWiki.org|MediaWiki]] software development, rather than operating {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF) wikis.  At [[mw:EMWCon Spring 2016/Panel Discussion Day 1|Enterprise MediaWiki Conference (EMWCon) Spring 2016]], there was a panel discussion about the idea.  [[MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group]] (MWstake) notes, "The idea of a MediaWiki Foundation has been brought up several times over the years, including an RFC.  But it has always ended up as an idea that everyone nods at and agrees with, but no one does anything with.  This time, when that was pointed out, Ryan Lane pointed to several open source projects.  He also said he would be willing to help work on producing a MediaWiki Foundation."<ref>https://mwstake.org/mwstake/wiki/Blog_Post:37</ref>
