Ask / Facebook page

Hello, I'm Mikani from French Wikinews. I have small questions on the use of social networks made by the English version, especially Facebook. Do you know who keeps the page up to date : https://www.facebook.com/Wikinews/ Thank you --mik@ni 09:15, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mikani: You might inquire of Zanimum. (At one time I used to diligently update the Facebook page each time I published an article, but then Facebook locked me out, years ago by now, because they demanded personal information I was unwilling to give them.) --Pi zero (talk) 16:21, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Pi zero: thank you ! --mik@ni 08:42, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Mikani: Yes, that's me. How can I help? It's manually updated, whereas I presume that the Twitter account use an IFTTT action, if that's the question. (I don't have access to the Twitter, so that's just an educated guess.) -- Zanimum (talk) 13:49, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
