This page documents linkages between the Wikimedia community and Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly Facebook, Inc.).
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.[1]
Past proposals to add "like" buttons or "share" widgets on pages have been rejected on English Wikipedia due to concerns over neutrality and design,[2] but they are used on some other projects.[3]
There was a proposal to add Facebook-login as an optional login-method, which was rejected.[4]
HHVM
In November 2014, Meta's open-source 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.)
Donations
In December 2018, Meta donated $1 million to the Wikimedia Endowment.[5]
The Wikimedia Foundation has begun work to allow donations through Facebook.[6]
