Wikisecessionism refers to efforts by WMF wikis to fork or otherwise break away from the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) umbrella. A notable example was the Enciclopedia Libre Universal en Español. These efforts could be motivated by many reasons: due to philosophical issues such as disagreement with the WMF on the direction where they are aiming to led the Wikimedia project and movement, due to financial issues or how the projects' resources are being used, or due to controversial measures that would impact the community and the free knowledge, such as the now foregone controversy about adding advertisements to Wikipedia to get funding (what led to the secession of Spanish Wikipedia to Enciclopedia Libre Universal en Español).
