For those who weren't there, I think the answer to that was that as a charity we're exempt from the normal limited company requirement for the name to end with "Limited" - and since we would continue to use simply "Wikimedia UK" as the working name it was better to have the working name and the legal name identical.
Thanks. Mike Peel did give an answer. But he did not say that, to my recollection.
It was my understanding that any company (or Industrial and Provident Society) can choose to omit "Ltd" or "Limited" from their name. Either way, I did wonder about the choice.
Only charities, those that has grandfathered in exemption, or any that has explicit exemption in other regulations. See Companies Act 2006 s.60.[1]
