'''Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.''' ('''WMF'''), founded 20 June [[:Category:Founded in 2003|2003]], is the [[:Category:Wiki company|wiki company]] and [[:Category:Non-profit|non-profit]] [[:Category:Charity|charitable]] [[:Category:Organization|organization]][https://Foundation.Wikimedia.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use] responsible for a very large number (over 900 in total) of very active [[WhatIsWiki|wiki sites]], which are grouped together by primary subject and known as a '{{WMF.org|Our projects|project}}'; as well as the [[:Category:Wiki engine|wiki engine]] software initially developed by themselves, known as [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]].  The [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundations]]' major wiki {{WMF-Meta|Wikimedia projects|projects}} started with [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] (encyclopedia), and subsequently expanded to include [[:Category:Wiktionary|Wiktionary]] (dictionary and thesaurus), [[:Category:Wikiquote|Wikiquote]] (quotations), [[:Category:Wikibooks|Wikibooks]] (open content textbooks), [[:Category:Wikisource|Wikisource]] (free content primary-source and secondary-source texts), [[:Category:Wikinews|Wikinews]] (news source), [[:Category:Wikiversity|Wikiversity]] (open learning community), [[Wikispecies]] (free species directory), and many others as listed below.  Most of these '{{WMF-Meta|Wikimedia projects|projects}}' have separate wiki site versions written in [[:Category:Wiki Multilingual|many]] different [[:Category:Wiki language|languages]].  There is also the [[Wikimedia Commons]] (shared repository for documents, images, videos, and other media and text files), [[Wikimedia Wikidata|Wikidata]] (central space knowledge base for data used on all WMF projects), and the [[Wikimedia Meta-Wiki]] (coordination of issues common to all Wikimedia projects).  The Wikimedia Foundations' [[:Category:Global|global]] reach is nurtured in its [[Wikimedia Incubator|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 project, [[:Category:Wikivoyage|Wikivoyage]] (a 'travelpedia'), was inducted to WMF in late [[:Category:Founded in 2012|2012]].
