Hi everyone, Recognition as a Wikimedia movement affiliate — a chapter, thematic organization, or user group — is a privilege that allows an independent group to officially use the Wikimedia trademarks to further the Wikimedia mission. While most affiliates adhere to the basic compliance standards set forth in their agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, a protocol has been developed to address the exceptional cases when a Wikimedia movement affiliate does not meet basic compliance standards and their continued recognition as a Wikimedia movement affiliate presents a risk to the Wikimedia movement.
On February 13, 2017, Wikimedia Macau was notified that they would no longer be recognized as a Wikimedia chapter after the termination of their Chapter Agreement on August 1, 2017. This de-recognition is a result of long-standing non-compliance with reporting requirements, dating back to the initial recognition of the chapter in 2011. If you have questions about what this means for the community members in Wikimedia Macau’s geographic area or language scope, we have put together a very basic FAQ, which may be found at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_movement_affiliate_de-recognition_FAQ .
