== Facebook social network channels == |
|||
A number of Wikimedia communities have robust communication via [[Facebook pages]] and groups. |
|||
Certain Wikimedia projects have policies restricting linking to Facebook.<ref>See for example, [[w:en:WP:FACEBOOK]]</ref> |
|||
Past proposals to add "like" buttons or "share" widgets on pages have been rejected on English Wikipedia due to concerns over neutrality and design,<ref>[[w:Wikipedia:Perennial proposals#Share pages on Facebook, Twitter etc.]]</ref> but they are used on some other projects.<ref>[[Social media plugins]]</ref> |
|||
There was a proposal to add Facebook-login as an optional login-method, which was rejected.<ref>[[phab:T61631|Phabricator task T61631, Enable Facebook login on Wikimedia wikis: Closed, rejected]]</ref> |
|||
== HHVM == |
|||
In November 2014, Meta's open-source [[mw:HHVM|HHVM]] PHP interpreter tool was deployed on Wikimedia servers, in order to decrease loading time on Wikimedia projects. In September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation adopted a plan to drop HHVM. (See [[phab:T176370]].) |
|||
== 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 [[wmf:Press releases/Statement from the Wikimedia Foundation regarding Facebook’s Wikipedia integration|a statement]]. |
|||
== Donations == |
|||
In December 2018, Meta donated $1 million to the [[Wikimedia Endowment]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2018/12/20/facebook-makes-1-million-gift-to-support-the-future-of-free-knowledge/ |title=Archive copy |accessdate=2021-12-02 |archive-date=2021-12-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211202124156/https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2018/12/20/facebook-makes-1-million-gift-to-support-the-future-of-free-knowledge/ |dead-url=no }}</ref> |

The Wikimedia Foundation has begun work to allow donations through Facebook.<ref>[[phab:T213179|Phabricator task T213179, Activate donations through Facebook]]</ref> |
