Somewhat off-topic, hope you do not mind, but it seems that MediaWiki farm Miraheze.org has been failing to get its legal entity Miraheze ltd. recognized as non-profit. Anyone informed of what went wrong? Is it as hard toget and keep as US 503c status?

I thought Miraheze was shutting down after some drama?

Recognised by whom? HMRC, for all their faults, makes the initial registration pretty straightforward https://www.gov.uk/charity-recognition-hmrc (sans any major issues with the governance of the company.). Getting registered with the Charity Commission https://www.gov.uk/setting-up-charity/register-your-charity is a bit more of a pain, but again shouldn't be that much of an issue.
@Seddon, they managed to at least partly resolve that issue, as far as I know.
Kind regards,

Not sure, but it seems that the next entity will be trying to get the status in the USA.

Yes / they seem to work towards a slower *(not panic) transition of assets to WikiTide.com in the USA.
