use of interest to us is that if a company has a charitable giving
program in which employees can have an amount withheld from their
paychecks to the charity of their choice, the company would need the
charity's EIN. I'm not aware of any serious problem for a nonprofit
publishing this number (the American Red Cross publishes theirs on their
website). In fact, I've suggested putting ours out there in order to
make it easier for companies to add us to gift-matching programs, but
I'm not aware that this has been done yet.
Our EIN has been on the foundation wiki for some time now:

Of course, that whole set of pages needs to be re-done so finding things like that are
easy.
Not to mention that the number is wrong.
The EIN for Wikimedia is 20-0049703 (according to the Florida Division
of Corporations [1], the 990-EZ filed by Wikimedia [2], and the
501(c)(3) letter [3]). The page you gave says the EIN is 20-0049733.
