Wikimedia LGBT è una proposta che mira a formare un' organizzazione tematica, ed è stata annunciata per la prima volta nell'anno 2012 su Wikimania. L'organizzazione promuoverebbe lo sviluppo di contenuto sui progetti Wikimedia che interessano alle comunità LGBT.
Missione
- Incoraggiare le organizzazioni culturali LGBT ad utilizzare i progetti Wikimedia e ad adottare i valori della libera cultura e del suo libero accesso.
- Promuovere i progetti Wikimedia in quanto strumenti per rafforzare le comunità LGBT.
- Creare ed arricchire contenuti interessanti per le comunità LGBT sui progetti di Wikimedia ed aumentare in generale la qualità di ogni contenuto in tutte le lingue.
Obiettivi
- Migliorare l'esperienza di editazione che hanno avuto tutti i contributori, andando a verificare che le vessazioni nei confronti delle persone LGBT saranno rapidamente trattate con una politica semplice e indipendente dall'orientamento sessuale dei contributori stessi.
- Controllare che le politiche di non-discriminazione di genere o dell'orientamento sessuale siano valide su tutti i progetti Wikimedia e partecipare alle discussioni su tutti i tipi di discriminazione.
- Fornire delle reti di aiuto alle comunità LGBT e ai loro amici, come un aiuto via IRC e OTRS.
- Fornire un meccanismo d' appello simpatetico quando la soluzione di una questione è fallita e un utente preferirebbe che un mediatore o un arbitro che faccia parte dell'LGBT si interessi di aiutarlo nel suo caso.
- Creare un ambiente più sicuro per i lettori LGBT dei progetti Wikimedia, con un interesse particolare per il miglioramento delle esperienze dei giovani LGBT sui progetti Wikimedia.
- Costruire delle grandi comunità tra i wikimediani LGBT.
- Coordinare gli sforzi tra i WikiProgetti impegnati nello sviluppo di specifici contenuti LGBT.
Strategia
Wikimedia LGBT adempirà alla propria missione nei modi seguenti:
- Provvedere ad educare le organizzazioni e gli individui in modo che possano contribuire con contenuti ai progetti Wikimedia.
- Creare, raccogliere, trattare e presentare degli indicatori che descrivano le statistiche di utilizzo e la qualità del contenuto di interesse per le persone LGBT sui progetti Wikimedia.
While Wikimedia LGBT+ members will always be welcome to contribute content of LGBT+ interest themselves, the scope of the work which the project seeks to complete can only be engaged if many LGBT+ outreach programs all contribute their expertise to developing the content in their fields. The general practice ought to be that any educator of LGBT+ populations anywhere who is performing outreach in any field ought to share their information on Wikimedia projects if any of their target demographic uses the Internet as a source of information. When such an educator recognizes this, then that person ought to be able to contact Wikimedia LGBT+ and get appropriate training to enable them to share their information on Wikimedia platforms.
Risultati
- Increased participation and visibility by LGBT+ communities at Wikimedia events, building towards even greater engagement at future Wikimanias.

- Access to LGBT+ specific help on-wiki, IRC and email (for example, access to LGBT+ identified VRT members via lgbt wikimedia.org).
- Independent and expert assessment of the Wikimedia projects and the Wikimedia Foundation's effectiveness at handling homophobic harassment cases.
- Commissioned surveys and statistical reporting on LGBT+ participation and perception of editing experience in order to support planned improvements.
- Model for future minority population based thematic organizations.
