Heh. Yes tricky ... perhaps Brion (he made it) didn't want to place
two links too much nearer ... [[xx|WMF]] [[xxx|thanks]] blah blah
blah. I agree the current placement is well-balanced. And "Thank you
to the Foundation" is doublly wrong since 1) it is recursive and make
no sense here and 2) even if so, it would be better replaced with
"for" ..

On the other hand, it could be confused specially non-native Speakers.
If your language syntax allows, you can freely translate it. In the
Japanese version (SOV), we can say "Wikimedia / all of you..../
thanks"  so we neatly avoided "from/to" problem ;p
