And the legal reason only applies to the footer on mobile? Not to the footer on desktop, and not to the logo on mobile or desktop? Afaik WMF doesn't have trademarks outside the US, so why would it need ™ on non-English Wikipedias? All services are primarily hosted in the US and subject to US law. And all Wikipedia editions (in desktop skins that is) the wmf-copyright message in the footer is the same (on English Wikipedia and other languages alike): "Wikipedia® is a registered trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization." Besides, Wikipedia editions aren't tied to a country but to a language. If any country, they are tied to the US. We dont show ™ anywhere afaik, only in the footer of non-Wikipedia mobile sites. I'm curious what the (intended) legal pattern was/is. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
