The '''Wikimedia Steward Wiki''', more commonly known as '''Steward Wiki''', is a {{tag|private}} MediaWiki site controlled by the {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF). The purpose of the [[wiki]] is to allow very specific [[user]]s with [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation people|global]] [[steward]] permissions across all WMF sites to have a workspace to collaberate and discuss proceedings. The wiki is completely private except for the Main Page, due to the fact that sensitive information regarding [[check user]] and [[Oversight]] tools, both of which stewards have access to, are often included in the wiki's pages. The Steward Wiki is not unified as part of WMF [[CentralAuth]], and therefore global accounts on public wikis like [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] cannot be used to access the Steward wiki. Only select accounts can be created by site [[administrator]]s, and accounts are only given to users with global steward access. [[Jimmy Wales]], the founder of the WMF, also has access.
