Yes, the brand is what guided the founding members of the group when choosing the name, especially thinking about global outreach; but we are certainly looking at all Wikimedia projects. Wikidata is very much a focus  - actually, I was the one to suggest and lead the Wikidata & Education session at WikidataCon and have been including WD in my academic courses for a few years now, so I have a personal interest in what you're doing, Daniel. ☺ In general, initiatives around any of the other sister projects are very much of an interest. There are success stories / best practices that I can think of about working with WikiQuote, WikiSource, WikiBooks and of course WikiCommons. We'd love to document more examples we might not be aware of.

I guess that's just a name, nothing more. Wikipedia is by far the best known brand - hence the name of the user group - but our activities will AFAIK support educators using all Wikimedia projects.

I'm very interested in matters at the interface between Wikimedia and
education but don't understand whether this user group - as the name
and existing documentation would suggest - is limited specifically to
Wikipedia(s) or what the role would be for other Wikimedia projects.

I agree, it's confusing and not inclusive. Wikimedia activities in education need to be flexible: in many cases Wikipedia is just not a viable option. Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata etc. have proven to be essential educational tools in various cases.
