After a bunch of fun vandalizing and impersonating WMF employees (it even led to a staff meeting lol), they have now locked all the WikiLearn pages to admins-only. :(
You should probably write this up and post it somewhere, anywhere.

A small side note: this NY Times article about "Spill Sesh", a YouTuber specializing in gossip about social-media "personalities".

This part tells you a few things to avoid:
After her first viral video, she received messages from a stranger who had figured out her name through an old Instagram handle and comments from friends on Facebook and her LinkedIn page. Ms. Cook said she was worried that she would lose her job and the health insurance that went with it.
The person who guessed her identity turned out not to be a complete troll, and with his help she started deleting everything she could find about herself online and requesting that her personal information be removed from database websites.
