The '''[[Wikimedia Foundation]]''' ('''WMF'''), founded 20 June [[:Category:FoundedIn2003|2003]], is the [[:Category:Nonprofit|non-profit]] [[:Category:Organization|organization]] responsible for a very large number (over 900 in total) of very active [[wiki]]s, grouped together and known as '[[wmf:Our projects|projects]]'; as well as the [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engine]] software initially developed by themselves, known as [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]]. The Foundations' major [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] projects include [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] (encyclopedias), [[:Category:Wiktionary|Wiktionary]] (dictionary and thesaurus), [[:Category:Wikiquote|Wikiquote]] (quotations), [[:Category:Wikibooks|Wikibooks]] (open content textbooks), [[:Category:Wikisource|Wikisource]] (free content primary 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 projects have separate wiki versions written in [[:Category:Wiki Multilingual|many]] different [[:Category:Wiki Language|languages]]. There is also the [[Wikimedia Commons]] (shared repository for images, videos and other media 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 Foundations' global reach is nurtured in its [[Wikimedia Incubator|Incubator]], where all new language versions for all projects are initiated and developed before being rolled out. Its most recent major project, [[:Category:Wikivoyage|Wikivoyage]] (a 'travelpedia'), was inducted to WMF in late 2012. | The '''[[Wikimedia Foundation]]''' ('''WMF'''), founded 20 June [[:Category:FoundedIn2003|2003]], is the [[:Category:Nonprofit|non-profit]] [[:Category:Organization|organization]] responsible for a very large number (over 900 in total) of very active [[wiki]]s, grouped together and known as '[[wmf:Our projects|projects]]'; as well as the [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engine]] software initially developed by themselves, known as [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]].
