“Project” refers to any official Wikimedia project, as shown on the Complete list of Wikimedia projects. It does not include projects that utilize the MediaWiki software but are not associated with the Wikimedia Foundation, nor does it include proposed projects that have not been approved, or ones that are hosted by Wikimedia but are not official projects per the terms of their hosting. There are official projects that do not show up on the complete list of projects; any discrepancies will be ruled on by the Election Officials with assistance from the Foundation’s Executive Director. A completely unofficial short-answer would be that if the Stewards can set rights for a project, it’s a Wikimedia project, but that is completely unofficial.
