Saluton,
Can we actually have a link to a page with a concrete example so we can
judge this factually?

Facebook is a de-facto major venue of communication for a great majority of
Internet users. Many communities, user groups, and chapters have some kind
of formal presence on Facebook -- "groups" or "pages". Directing visitors
to your wiki to *your own wiki's* presence on this other major platform,
i.e. a direct link to your group/page on Facebook, is absolutely fine. It
is *quite* different from, say, just linking to www.facebook.com or
explicitly endorsing it as a platform ("Join Facebook! It's great!") in
general.
As you note, a number of communities have done or are doing this.
Especially for smaller communities, the impact of such link placement can
be a significant driver of traffic (i.e. readers!) to your community
group/page on Facebook, which itself is important for outreach, awareness,
and volunteer recruitment, and therefore is mission-aligned.
Cheers,
Asaf

Speaking only for myself, not as a member of the board, I don't know of
any legal or other reason why this should not be done. I think we
should be very careful about links or appearance of endorsement
especially on article pages, but outreach to people in the world should
take place wherever we find a willing and useful audience.

IMO this is based on local community consensus. It is not a global
policy.

Hello, I have a question: is it legal and valid for Wikipedia
communities
put promotion links to their Facebook pages on public space as Main
Page
or
Sitenotice?
I see many of Wikimedia projects doing this, as Indonesia Wikipedia,
Arabic
Wikipedia, etc... Their Facebooks page also have blue checkmark of
Facebook
as verified.
All what I concern is: Facebook is a commerical website, we put a link
as
"official" to them, will it same with Wikipedia biased for Facebook and
violated the NPOV policy? And in finally: is it OK if other projects
can
do
that? Vietnamese Wikipedia also have a discussion about sitenotice
promotion to Facebook at <
https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Th%E1%BA%A3o_lu%E1%
BA%ADn/Qu%E1%BA%A3ng_b%C3%A1_trang_Facebook_%22Wikipedia_
ti%E1%BA%BFng_Vi%E1%BB%87t%22
. If this is OK, I think we have no reason to reject it.
Thank you!
