Specific guidance
Publicly available materials
Whenever possible, materials developed by the Wikimedia Foundation should be made publicly available both as a part of our commitment to transparency and to support the capacity building of other organizations - particularly Wikimedia movement affiliates.
Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki
Policies, procedures, and related guidelines which reflect the official position of the Wikimedia Foundation - such that editing by anyone of the materials may unintentionally change their intent - should be posted here on Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki (where editing of the materials will be limited). Materials posted on Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki should not be duplicated on either Meta-Wiki or Wikimedia Foundation Office Wiki - instead please make use of page redirects.
Examples:
Meta-Wiki
Materials which are more informational in nature - or do not carry the same risks associated with public editing - should be posted and made available on Meta-Wiki. Materials posted on Meta-Wiki should not be duplicated on either Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki or Wikimedia Foundation Office Wiki - instead please make use of page redirects.
Examples:
Translations
Publicly available materials posted on either Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki or Meta-Wiki should be setup for translation.
Confidential materials
Materials which contain confidential or otherwise sensitive information should be posted only on Wikimedia Foundation Office Wiki. These materials should never be duplicated on Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki or Meta-Wiki.
