Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2025-2026/Collaboration
 | This content is currently in development as part of the 2025–2026 Annual Plan drafting process. We are seeking feedback on the objectives and key results that will shape our Product and Technology priorities for the next fiscal year. |  |
Over the last few years we have continued to evolve and improve our collaborative planning process. The Wikimedia Foundation’s mission remain constant, while the work and deliverables within them iterates on the significant progress made in the current year. Continuous conversations with the community inform our annual plan and we'll be documenting these here on this page.
Get involved
There are several ways you can get involved and discuss the annual plan. Right now, we are seeking feedback on the objectives and key results that will shape our Product and Technology priorities for the next fiscal year.
We welcome your ideas now through 31st May 2025 and will update this page as new on-wiki and live discussions open in various channels and languages. These discussions are where the Wikimedians share their take on the proposed plans and share about their own goals for the upcoming year. Inspired by what so many others are doing in their own work, we continue to find opportunities to collaborate and learn from the planning processes and work of others in the Wikimedia movement as well as other partners. There will be many ways to engage: here on Meta-Wiki, in co-created community spaces, in person meetings, on Wikimedia project pages, and on community channels.
On-Wiki
A summary message to engage in annual plan conversation will be posted locally on various projects, with follow ups as we post more information. The full version of draft annual plan materials with accompanying translations will live on this Meta-Wiki portal. You can collaborate with us on both local talk pages and here on the Meta-Wiki talk page, always in your preferred language. We will add links here to where the content has been posted as they become available.
Other conversations about the annual planning are also happening in other community channels on Discord and Telegram. We encourage you to join the discussions if you subscribe to these channels.
