Values

There have been a few iterations of values, this page tries to give a quick summary of their history.

The values of the Wikimedia Foundation were first laid down by Anthere in 2008. They eventually settled on this version.
In 2013, the Board of the Wikimedia Foundation issued the Wikimedia Foundation Guiding Principles describing how the Wikimedia Foundation's Mission and Vision are implemented in its work. This took a few of the concepts used in the values and integrated them in another document.
In 2016, a discussion took place to update the Wikimedia Foundation's values and yielded the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation values.
In 2022 and 2023, the Wikimedia Foundation went through another update that yielded its current set of values.
