Thanks Victoria My main concern and this should include any wiki admin with an open registration on their wiki, is there any available information on the technical side?
I found a few tasks on phabricator but nothing specific for handling explicit consent of users nor any tools for wiki admins using the MediaWiki software to assist them with compliance of GDPR. There are many open source projects scrambling to improve user registration and user account tools making sure websites run by their software is ready for GDPR. Yes, a few things can be handled with extensions, but at best they would be patch and make compliance difficult.
