 '''Wikimedia Commons – ''the free media repository''''' — is a major part or '{{WMF.org|Our projects|Project}}' of the {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF).  More commonly known to [[Wikipedian|Wikimedians]] as merely '''Commons''', it is a very large [[wiki]] site of an online depository {{tag|database}} of over 86&nbsp;million freely usable educational {{tag|media}} files, to which anyone can contribute.  The files, which include {{tag|images}} ({{tag|photographs}}, {{tag|graphics}}, etc), {{tag|video}}s, and {{tag|audio}}; are primarily for use by all [[:Category:Wiki Language|language versions]] of the various Wikimedia projects, such as [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], [[:Category:Wikinews|Wikinews]], [[:Category:Wikivoyage|Wikivoyage]], etc.  With specific regards to Wikipedia, whilst the [[English Wikipedia]] ''will'' accept '{{Wp|fair use}}' images, the Wikimedia Commons will <u>not</u>; all media files uploaded to the Commons <u>must</u> be completely free to use (either {{tag|public domain}} (PD), or an unrestricted {{tag|copyleft}} license).  Other individual [[:Category:Wiki Language|language]] editions of Wikipedia have their own differing standards for fair use; e.g. [[Español Wikipedia]] will not allow fair use media.
