The intention is to provide a not-for-profit charitable framework for Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, and the growing technical and organizational infrastructure necessary to support them.
- 9: MediaWiki's ISBN interface is amended to make ISBNs in articles link to Special:Booksources, which fetches its contents from a page editable by contributors.
- 20: Wikimedia Foundation founded in Florida, United States. Until this time, the Wikimedia sites and servers were supported by Bomis, Jimmy Wales's for-profit business at the time.
July
- WikimediaFoundation.org launches as a redirect to Wikimedia.org
- The "Wikipedia software" is officially named "MediaWiki", a wordplay by Daniel Mayer on the Wikimedia Foundation's name. It is adopted as the Foundation's fourth official project.[4]

- 10: Wikimedia Foundation launches its sixth official project, Wikiquote.
October
- 15: The second place logo of the 2003 Wikipedia international logo contest, created by Neolux, is appointed as the logo for Wikimedia by logo contest organizer Erik Möller.

- A major computer crash takes Wikipedia offline for a week and prompts Jimmy Wales to launch a fundraising drive. In less than a week more than US$30,000 is raised, thanks partly to mentions on Slashdot. The money allows the Wikimedia Foundation to purchase nine new servers.
- 6: Wikimedia Foundation developers support ending system messages within MediaWiki displayed to Wikimedia project users from being hard coded, allowing for contributors to modify and translate them easier.
