[1] One of the major tasks of Danish Wikipedia is to ensure that every Danish individual will be able to access, read and obtain information from Wikipedia.

Danes will join a wide and open studying environment to discuss the knowledge with Wiki users from all over the world, thus raising people's level of knowledge.

Wikimedia Danmark is a Danish membership association with the purpose to support Wikimedia's projects, in particular those in the Danish, Faroese and Greenlandic languages, and aiming to become a national chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation.

The association was formed at a meeting at the Unitarerneshuset in Copenhagen on 14 March 2009.

The Wikimedia Foundation approved the chapter on 3 July 2009.
