I wouldn’t be surprised if there was already an official Wikimedia blog. I do have a vague
memory of one. However, I don’t believe it’s a wiki, just a blog.
There could be benefits to a non-Wikimedia wiki that’s used in a blog-like fashion, but I
really don’t see any use for one that’s WMF-affiliated, given the drawbacks. The biggest
drawback: The WMF is the most visible wiki-related organization out there, making all the
other drawbacks that much worse. I doubt I’d perceive the benefits as being “big.”

Are there any good practices of using
Wikimedia MediaWikis for Blogging
or good reasons not to do it?
(I see
Meta/Outreach/MediaWiki.org
have no Special:CreateBlogPost)
I see big benefits if blogging is about Wikimedia.
Shortcomings I can imagine are potentially with:
vandalism, limited visual design + embedding options,
Confusions with User vs. Main namespace…
any others?
