Thanks for the clarification. I signed up and am looking forward to
fruitful interactions including but not limited to Wikipedia(s).

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.
