A number of Wikimedia communities have robust communication via [[Facebook pages]] and groups.

Meta's use of Wikimedia content

On April 19, 2010, Facebook introduced Community Pages, which are Pages that are populated with articles from Wikipedia. In 2017, Facebook integrated Wikipedia articles into its Article Context feature. The WMF responded to this in a statement.

Donations

In December 2018, Meta donated $1 million to the Wikimedia Endowment.[1]

The Wikimedia Foundation has begun work to allow donations through Facebook.[2]
