	Running a '''User Group''' requires clear agreements between members — from bylaws and meeting minutes to fundraising contracts and partnership accords. This toolbox provides '''ready-to-use document templates''' and '''equitable compensatory measures''' inspired by the governance practices of the '''400+ Wikimedia Chapters and User Groups worldwide'''. Among these, the [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Deutschland German], [https://se.wikimedia.org/ Swedish], and [https://www.wikimedia.fr/ French] chapters stand out as an example and source of inspiration in organizational governance. The [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Les_sans_pagEs Les sans pagES] User Group (Genève), dedicated to reducing the gender gap on Wikipedia, is another valuable cross-domain reference. WikiDeal serves as a '''testing ground''' where existing Wikimedia User Groups can experiment with structured, transparent internal agreements — and where any new User Group can get started with professional-grade templates from day one.
