it.wiki is extremely strict as regards usernames which contain or equal
the names of entities or internet domains (blocked on sight); editing
articles about yourself is strongly discouraged but not forbidden; COI
is a tough matter and there are no clear rules.
Discussions on similar transparency matters (like sockpuppets,
reincarnations and assorted stuff) led nowhere, so I think interested
users are mostly trying to get outsiders understand how Wikipedia works;
a good example is this unofficial "marketing for dummies" guide:
<https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:DracoRoboter/Il_marketing_delle_aziende_e_Wikipedia,_for_dummies>
(warning! it's very draco-style, and if you don't know what I mean be
really careful ;-) ).
As a good example I can mention "Share your knowledge" which discourages
partners from editing articles about themselves or adding links to their
website by themselves. Only rare exceptions are suggested:
<https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:GLAM/Come_iniziare#Principi_generali_da_seguire>
I'll try to get someone more informed than me to update the Meta page.
