It exists, but it's not used and is always empty. They could always join
#wikipedia, but that's mostly in English...

Based on what Roberto says, the Spanish version should follow the
colloquial form, just because the Wikimedia project already uses that
form. In general terms, I prefer to use the formal form, because it
connotes "seriousness" and "politeness," specially in projects like
Wikipedia.
On the other matter, Is some strong reason why to keep "Wikimedia
Foundation" instead of translating it?

Bye.
Roberto.
I'm sorry about that. I cut and changed bits of translations done by
several people over the years, and I expected for there to be
non-agreement of verbs in this way. As for what should be used, I
guess whatever you would use on the Main Page of your language's
Wikipedia would be the one to go with. So long as it all agrees :)
In another matter, I asked people to translate "Wikimedia Foundation"
for the page heading and also within the text (e.g. "Wikimédia" in
French). But Britty has informed me that, when we're working with
Latin-scripted languages, we are highly encouraged to use the English
form "Wikimedia Foundation" and not translate it at all. Should I ask
people to go through the translations and change them to read
"Wikimedia Foundation", change it myself (which is troublesome because
some languages surround English text with special quote characters) or
leave it?
