I think we did this as a by-product of having our budget public, rather than as an 'openness' drive. Making staff wages public can be a little tricky from an HR/staff management perspective, and I'm not sure if there have been any 'official decisions' on the topic by WMUK.
I should also clarify that the figure there isn't our wages, rather, it's the total cost of employing that member of staff, including pensions, Employer National Insurance Contributions, payroll etc.

I thought it interesting to point out to the UK Activity Plan

with the projections of salary+payroll costs of each position in the association.

Hello,
In the interests of transparency, the Wikimédia France board has decided this month to make public the salaries of its employees. The 4 WMFr employees fully supported the measure before the Board decided to discuss the matter. Any new candidate for a salaried position within Wikimedia France will be informed of this wage transparency.
As ED, I'm in charge of putting this measure into practice, probably by posting in our annual report.

I understand the arguments I've read but do not share it. Recruited the best person is a goal of any recruiting organization, but that should not come at the expense of our values. And transparancy is a core value of our movement.
As is privacy. We don't publish the server logs. :)
