This guideline addresses when and how the Wikimedia Foundation (“WMF”) should associate itself publicly on policy and political issues consistent with its [[Foundation:Mission statement|mission]]. Policy and political issues include public support for or against proposed laws and executive actions, online backing for political initiatives, and partnerships with organizations to promote shared policy and political positions. This guideline covers requests to and actions by the WMF; it does not address independent community responses and initiatives in response to policy or political issues.<ref>This guideline is intended to cover only policy and political associations. It does not govern commercial and organizational relationships outside the policy and political context where the WMF is entering into a contractual relationship and allowing use of WMF trademarks for limited purposes in furtherance of the purposes of the contract. For example, a contract with a mobile company to provide users access to Wikipedia for free may allow the mobile company to display the Wikimedia logo in its promotion of services. This arrangement would not fall under the scope of this guideline.

WMF reserves the right to deviate from this policy depending on the circumstances.  The General Counsel must approve any such deviation.</ref>

Please change "Legal:Policy and political association guideline/Frequently asked questions" to "Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Policy and political association guideline/Frequently asked questions". Thanks, --Ameisenigel (talk) 10:35, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

And "Foundation:Resolution:Recognizing Models of Affiliations" to "Special:MyLanguage/Resolution:Recognizing Models of Affiliations". Thanks, --Ameisenigel (talk) 11:32, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Ameisenigel: Thank you for catching that - should be all set now. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 15:27, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

All links to irs.gov seem to be broken. Please replace them. Thanks, --Ameisenigel (talk) 08:27, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
