Hi,
Is this a legitimate WMF website?
It is a pre-launch site going through a community review and maintained by the Movement Strategy and Governance team at the Wikimedia Foundation.
Trying to trace where this website is being hosted doesn't go very far - the domain seems have its DNS at gandi.net, with the registration via pir.org, and its contact info is at afilias.info? Compare to wikimedia.org that at least says "Registrant Organization: Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.".
Yes, this is being discussed at one of the questions of the community review:
What do you think about the proposed name and domain? https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/what-do-you-think-about-the-proposed-n...
There is no on-site privacy policy, it just links to wikimediafoundation.org?
See this pinned topic:
User privacy considerations in this forum https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/user-privacy-considerations-in-this-fo...
It's also very much not a mediawiki installation?
It's a Discourse instance. https://discourse.org is an open-source platform specializing in community conversations.
Thanks, Mike

Hello everyone,
This is an invitation to all Movement Strategy participants and Wikimedians in general to try out a new platform for truly multilingual collaboration:
Movement Strategy Forum - https://forum.movement-strategy.org/ https://forum.movement-strategy.org/
We have started a community review <
https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/movement-strategy-forum-community-revi...
period of two months. If the community feedback is positive, the Forum will launch in August 2022 before Wikimania. If not, we will follow the feedback received, changing the proposal or closing it.
We opened the Forum on May 24 with targeted outreach, hoping that the new site features would work. 😅 A week later, the Wikimedia login has been used by +200 users, the automatic translation is allowing speakers of different languages to discuss together, and we are ready to welcome more reviewers, testers, and other curious minds.
We have just released the first weekly report https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/forum-weekly-report/387. Looking
forward to reading your first impressions in the next one!
