This is presumably referring to https://www.wikimedia.org/.

MZMcBride: Yes, sorry, I should have provided a link in the description. Aklapper: I agree, and of course, if some Wikimedia-user-preferences could be read and used, that would be better. But anyway, I think geolocalization could be useful as last option; some other major web sites do it (or they seem to).

Of course the easiest way is to remove the text: all other portals do without. Either way, quick introduction of Wikimedia belongs to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page which is its principal face.

I disagree with:

ksmith added a blocking task: T110070: Investigate moving the project portals (www.wikipedia.org, etc.) to Git/Gerrit.

Indeed. The page on wiki supports raw html so it can be done without moving it to git. (unless I'm missing something?)

In a literal sense, you're correct. But, things like this are significantly easier to automate with a git-based setup. Thus, practically speaking, my team won't be working on doing it with the current setup, so that's why we added the blocking task. Feel free to remove it, but it doesn't change anything from my end.

This should probably be done with the same system developed for the compact interwiki links, by generalising the jquery.uls library to filter any set of hreflang links on a page.
