In 2013, the Board of the Wikimedia Foundation issued theWikimedia Foundation Guiding Principles describing how the Wikimedia Foundation's Mission and Vision are implemented in its work. This took a few of the concepts used in the values and integrated them in another document.
In 2016, a discussion took place to update the Wikimedia Foundation's values and yielded the 2017Wikimedia Foundation values.
