* The article points out that reliable sources say the media org runs a network of fake news sites pushing BJP propaganda.
* The media org sues Wikipedia.
* The judge threatens to block Wikipedia in India, and demands the doxxing of the editors who made these observations about what sources say.
* Somebody starts a Wikipedia page about this civil case.
* That page now says "The Wikimedia Foundation has suspended access to this page due to an order by the Delhi High Court", but the one the case is about is still up.
Was there no such order about the Asian News International page? Or there was, but the WMF is ignoring that one while complying with this one?
I don't really get it, although "refrain from publishing information about an ongoing trial in case you prejudice the outcome" would be a reasonable request to comply with for ethical reasons. But they make it sound like they were forced to block this page and didn't want to. But not the page this page is about. Huh?
Edit: I think I see now, thanks to the above link about "On-wiki discussion". Something about the vagaries of law means blocking the meta-level article, but not the original one, is necessary if they want to appeal, years down the line when they get a chance. So it's strategic.
