Overview
Wikibase.cloud is a service created by Wikimedia Deutschland and hosted in Germany. All the sites we host fall under Germany's Telemedia Act, which among other things requires websites to have a legally conforming imprint.

What is an imprint?
In this context an imprint, or impressum, is a legally mandated statement of ownership and authorship that must be displayed on websites and that contains information about the site's publisher.

How do I create a conforming imprint?
It's the responsibility of each site manager to understand and fulfill the requirements of the law. Below is a list of sites which we provide for your reference without any guarantee of accuracy.
