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.".
There is no on-site privacy policy, it just links to wikimediafoundation.org?
See this pinned topic:
User privacy considerations in this forum
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
