Meta Platforms
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]

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.[5]
The Wikimedia Foundation has begun work to allow donations through Facebook.[6]
