My personal preference is to NOT link to Facebook. I think they use the energy of people enough already.
However, I also think it is up to local communities to decide what works for them best, there is no "one size fits all" here, IMHO

Speaking only for myself, not as a member of the board, I don't know of any legal or other reason why this should not be done. I think we should be very careful about links or appearance of endorsement especially on article pages, but outreach to people in the world should take place wherever we find a willing and useful audience.

I know it based on local consensus, but what I mean here is: those consensus valid for WMF Term of Use and others policies or not? Because it same with Wikipedia have linked with 3rd party, which is a commerical website.

IMO this is based on local community consensus. It is not a global

Hello, I have a question: is it legal and valid for Wikipedia
communities
put promotion links to their Facebook pages on public space as Main Page
or
Sitenotice?
I see many of Wikimedia projects doing this, as Indonesia Wikipedia,
Arabic
Wikipedia, etc... Their Facebooks page also have blue checkmark of
as verified.
All what I concern is: Facebook is a commerical website, we put a link
as
"official" to them, will it same with Wikipedia biased for Facebook and violated the NPOV policy? And in finally: is it OK if other projects can
do
that? Vietnamese Wikipedia also have a discussion about sitenotice promotion to Facebook at < https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Th%E1%BA%A3o_lu%E1% BA%ADn/Qu%E1%BA%A3ng_b%C3%A1_trang_Facebook_%22Wikipedia_ ti%E1%BA%BFng_Vi%E1%BB%87t%22
. If this is OK, I think we have no reason to reject it.
Thank you!
