The two cases some referred to https://az.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sitenotice and https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%E1%BA%A3n_m%E1%BA%ABu:AdvancedSiteNotices
I don't like facebook at all but it's a de facto standard for communication/outreaching. If "official" groups meet a series of requisites. For example being managed by a sufficient number of trusted users, respecting "something recalling" friendly space expectations, etc.

I am not seeing any link to Facebook here?
It's part of a banner, not sure the banner is set to 100%. It says:
"Azərbaycanca Vikipediya ilə daim əlaqədə olmaq üçün bizi "Facebook"da izləyin!"
in small font at the top, with a link to:
https://www.facebook.com/azvikipediya
Personally, I'd love to see WMF or a chapter set up a public Mastodon instance; the project has matured significantly since its first release and is at least a viable free/open alternative to the Twitter-ish forms of social networking. FB still has event management functions that are difficult to substitute, however.
