Hello,
I believe that unofficial groups are fairly common. There were unofficial

The issue at hand here is that the linked-to Facebook page is not directly
affiliated with the Wikipedia project. It might share some members, but

Sorry, but can I understand this as a promotion link to Facebook pages
(managed by community) is recommended for outreach Wikipedia, even if it
isn't an "official Facebook page" managed by WMF or chapters/usergroups?

I don't like facebook at all but it's a de facto standard for

Ok, thank you. To my mind the main problem with that kind of practice
pertain to the lake of Free-Libre-Archivable-Infrastructure-Rack (FLAIR)
alternative along the proprietary platform. One problem with this
