Official policy or legal pages may be edited only with prior approval from the CEO or board.

If you have an idea for an initiative that you'd like to see supported by Wikimedia UK, then please submit a proposal below. This is a fairy easy process, and just involves describing the idea, the resources (funding/volunteers/...) it will need, and a list of people interested in participating. Once submitted, a proposal is openly discussed here, and when there is sufficient support it is discussed at a board meeting.

To proposal a new project, please add a brief descriptive name after "Initiatives/Proposals/" in the box below, then click "Create page". You'll then be presented with a template that guides you through the process. Once you've saved the proposal, please add a link to it in the table below.


If you have any problems submitting a proposal, please contact us.
