--- Comment #1 from Oliver Keyes <[email protected]> ---
I would argue that this is somewhat extraneous; I don't think anyone actually
reads it. Really it exists primarily so that when someone whines about their
content being deleted, we can go "there was a notice". It undoubtedly did serve
a purpose on the Good Old Days {{cn}} when our terms of service were written on
a napkin - but these days Geoff and the team have produced the rather concise
and all-encompassing https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use, which
covers (amongst other things) copyright infringements and redistribution - and
is linked to in the interface.

I appreciate it's slightly more obscure than an editnotice, but it's also the
approach taken by every other website on the planet: users can't really claim
they were ignorant unless we're the only place on the internet they visit.
