Wikimedia user groups/pt

Wikimedia user groups are groups of Wikimedia users who have decided to support and promote the Wikimedia projects in the offline world by organizing meetups and other projects. User groups may or may not be legally incorporated entities. 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". 143 user groups currently exist in the world.

This page lists current and planned user groups. Please see the step-by-step user group creation guide for more information. The Affiliations Committee exists to aid the creation of, and to support, user groups.

Note: The Affiliations Committee is just starting to process applications for User Groups. Please leave any comments and feedback on the requirements and guides on the respective talk pages. If you have plans for user groups, please contact the Committee at affcomlists.wikimedia.org.
