Can we actually have a link to a page with a concrete example so we can
judge this factually?

Facebook is a de-facto major venue of communication for a great majority
of
Internet users. Many communities, user groups, and chapters have some
kind
of formal presence on Facebook -- "groups" or "pages". Directing
visitors
to your wiki to *your own wiki's* presence on this other major platform,
i.e. a direct link to your group/page on Facebook, is absolutely fine.
It
is *quite* different from, say, just linking to
www.facebook.com or
explicitly endorsing it as a platform ("Join Facebook! It's great!") in
general.
As you note, a number of communities have done or are doing this.
Especially for smaller communities, the impact of such link placement
can
be a significant driver of traffic (i.e. readers!) to your community
group/page on Facebook, which itself is important for outreach,
awareness,
and volunteer recruitment, and therefore is mission-aligned.
Cheers,
Asaf
