MediaWiki Stakeholders

"Make MediaWiki the most effective open source collaboration software!"

About

The MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group (MWStake) is a MediaWiki user group consisting of MediaWiki developers, system administrators, users, consultants, and hosting providers who cooperate in order to improve the software and advocate the needs of MediaWiki users outside the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) and its projects.

The group was recognized by the Affiliations Committee on November 11, 2014 and renewed in January 2016.
