== Facebook social netw<big>Facebook</big>ork 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, Facebook'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]].) |
|||
== Facebook's use of Wikimedia content == |
|||
On April 19, 2010, Facebook introduced Community Pages, which are Pages that are populated with articles from Wikipedia.
