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-name-and-domain/53
 
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-forum/55
 
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
