Hi folks, I got this note from an external organization that wanted to know more about what Wikimedia changed so that they are now accurate getting referral info. Any pointers?

This was done in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87276 to be more of a "good citizen" of the Internet, done last Tuesday. Credit to Dario and Brandon and others.
