It appears that Affiliate agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation are not published on-wiki in a consistent way.[1]
Though the standard templates are available, these have varied over time, so at a minimum to understand which Chapter/Thorg/User Group has currently agreed which legally binding statement, there should be an indication or link to the specific version. The templates have to be customized, and this may include some legally meaningful changes, not just bureaucratic ones. As an example, the table of 108 User Groups, simply gives the names of the groups. It would be extremely difficult, perhaps impossible, to work out exactly when each signed up to the UG agreement, or confirm which User Groups legally signed up to the post May 2015 version that makes compliance with the Code of Conduct mandatory. As a second example, tracking down the UK Chapter agreement,[2] a customized one was agreed by the WMF and WMUK, but when I followed the 'official' links, the version I was directed to was a 2009 draft version on the UK Chapter wiki (no copy on Meta), which appears unlikely to be the current chapters agreement due to a fairly obvious drafting error. Could the Affiliates Committee look into this as a matter of its necessary and tracked administration of a correct public record, rather than relying on it happening ad hoc?
