At the conference 16 mascots were present, of which 13 are on the group photo, and 3 sadly stayed in the hotel room during the group photo.

The group photo of the plushies, supported by the rest of the participants of the Wikimedia Conference, has been tagged and added to the Meta page. The tag contains all names + species, so far known! From 3 mascots the personal assistants were gone too fast to ask for the names, who can help?

During the group photo the traditional cuteness meetup took place. As transparency and cuteness are core principles of the Wikimedia movement, it is good to show that the cute mascots are everywhere. Therefore a list of cuties has been created at:

Please check and fill in missing fields. Also some mascots still need to be added.

The Wikimedia Cuteness Association (WCA) has now a Wikidata item at: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q29169245
One question that comes up is when the WCA was founded?

Thank you for the great meeting says Wendy,
