Institutional memory. Why it said what it said in the first place.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Official disclaimers

If you edit that page you should be aware of the legal implications of what you 
write. You can consult our lawyers or Jimbo if you need to. It should be 
tailored to whatever is unique about your language or nation. Not sure if there 
is some global policy somewhere. It is legal. It limits liability by notifying 
users of various realities, such as, we cannot, and do not, guarantee 
reliability, so use at your own risk.

Hi,

All WMF wikis have a "Disclaimers" link at the bottom.

The target page often includes language that sounds legal, but they can be
edited by people who don't have any official legal role or certification.

Is there a general, global policy about how the name of this link is
translated, and about what is written on the page where it leads?
