Re:
4.5 Can you give an example of cybersquatting?
In the past, someone registered the domain wikkipedia.org to attract traffic to their own site. This is called cybersquatting or typosquatting that infringes our trademark. We strictly enforce our policy against confusing domain names. Please tell us if you see an infringing domain name.
The "tell us" text links to a page (m:Trademark/Report abuse) marked as a mockup & marked as historical. Best, A smart kitten (talk) 12:07, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
Trademark policy 4.9 What does "public event" mean?
Quoting trademark policy section 4.9:
A public event is an event that is not predominantly attended by community members. An event is also public when it is announced to the public with signs or advertisements or in an event schedule. Hence, this rule does not apply to community-focused meetups and conferences.
The very first use of the word "community" in this section is lacking its proper context (or a definition) and is therefore ambiguous. It seems to want to refer only to a certain kind of community, but the lack of specification means it in fact refers to every kind of "community" that exists, including things that are more or less the opposite of what's intended.
