Wikimedia chapters are independent organizations founded to support and promote the Wikimedia projects within a specified geographical region (country). Like the Wikimedia Foundation, they aim to "empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally". 39 chapters currently exist, with at least one Chapter on every continent of the world (except Antarctica).
This page lists current and planned chapters. Please see the Step-by-step chapter creation guide and the Local chapter FAQ for more information. An Affiliations Committee exists to aid the creation of, and to support, local chapters.
Some of the chapters have an office.
Find an overview of Chapter-related Meta pages on Chapters Portal.

Ideas for chapters[edit]
See the Local chapter FAQ to understand what a local chapter is, and what it entails to create a new one. If you wish to create a local chapter, follow the step-by-step chapter creation guide. In case you have any questions, contact the chapters committee.
In Europe[edit]
- Wikimedia Belgium - People who are interested can sign up at wmbe:Founding/Interested people.
- Wikimedia Galiza – In discussion and calling for supporters. Discussion and planning going on at w:gl:Wikipedia:Wikimedia Galiza.
In North America[edit]
- Wikimedia United States Federation – mailing list
- Wikimedia Cascadia - a chapter in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon and Washington and possibly including Northern California and/or British Columbia)
- Wikimedia Texas – Possibility of a chapter for Texas and the south-central United States
- Wikimedia Oklahoma – Possibility of a chapter for Oklahoma
- Wikimedia Florida – Possibility of a chapter for Florida
In Asia[edit]
- Wikimedia Japan – 設立の是非について投票中です。 The page reads "There are currently no active arguments to establish a local Japanese chapter, mainly because very few Japanese language community members are interested in it. Lack of legal knowledge and accounting skills amongst the community is also a large contributing factor."
- Wikimedia Mainland China – 准备讨论 zh:Wikipedia:中国维基媒体协会/筹备 The former page is a list of legal requirements, the latter is a discussion of creating the chapter, though discussion seems to have mostly died in 2009.
- Wikimedia Nepal विकिमिडिया नेपाल is recognized as a user group Wikimedians of Nepal on 29th May, 2013. Now it is in the way of becoming national chapter. Wikipedia was begun in Nepal on June 3, 2002 with Nepali Wikipedia. Now Wikipedias are avaible in 5 languages spoken in Nepal. Wikimedia Nepal begun regular meetups and discussions from 17th July, 2010. It has been organizing outreach and various programs to promote Wikipedia in Nepal.
In Africa[edit]
- Wikimedia Uganda – Initiating discussion and calling for supporters. "It is time to set the Pearl."
- Wikimedia Tunisie – in discussion.
- Wikimedia Maroc – in discussion.
- Wikimedia Ghana – in discussion.

Mailing lists and wikis[edit]
Apart from public mailing lists (most notably Chapters-reports) and websites listed elsewhere, there are two main private channels for communication and coordination among chapters, which existing chapters must follow and participate in:
- Internal wiki and Internal-l – Local Chapters, board and officers coordination: each chapter can subscribe an unlimited number of board members (as of 13th August 2010), with an e-mail to the list admin by the president; additional members can be subscribed following the usual procedure (endorsement by a subscribed person + consensus on wiki);
- Chapters wiki and chapters mailinglist for discussions and decisions among chapters: each chapter can subscribe unlimited board members (and some staffer) and an email by the president of the chapter to the list admins with the list of email addresses to add/remove is the usual process; there are also other lists for working groups, generally subsets of the previous one, apart some more open lists (e.g. GLAM).
Notes[edit]
- ↑ Is the chapter formally recognized as a Nonprofit organization under its nation's laws? "n/a" should be used if the country's laws do not recognize a nonprofit status.
- ↑ Letters Patent
- ↑ Applying for charitable status as well.
- ↑ A small no profit association doesn't require the formal approval. It's sufficient to follow the law and to have a bylaws compliant with to the law[1][2]. The tax exemption has been formally approved [3].
- ↑ All associations are non-profit by definition in the Czech republic.
- ↑ All associations in Spain have Non profit status.
- ↑ Wikimédia Magyarország is a registered association at the Court and all registered associations are non-profit by definition in Hungary. Wikimédia Magyarország is recognized as "organization for the public benefit" status which means: transparency requirements, tax exemptions, tax deductibility etc.
- ↑ Based on Wikimedia Indonesia Board of Executive Meeting.
- ↑ Wikimedia India chapter ( Registered Name: Wikimedia Chapter) is registered as a Non-profit Society vide Registrar of Societies, Bangalore Urban District. However applications to tax-exemption for the society and its donors are still pending.
- ↑ At the founding team's request, the provisional approval was extended by the WMF executive director until April 2013.
- ↑ Officialy recognized as Wikimedia México A.C. (civic association) under mexican laws since February 2013
- ↑ There is no separate official non-profit status. However, we have been granted charity status (ANBI) by the tax office since January 2010, which, among other demands, requires that the organization is a non-profit by its bylaws and operates as a non-profit in practice. During 2012 we were busy to prepare the chapter for the CBF certificate for 'small charities'.
- ↑ Wikimedia Philippines is applying for NGO accreditation and donee institution status (charitable status).
- ↑ All associations are non-profit by definition in Poland
- ↑ All organizations in Portugal have Non profit status.
