It seems like the Wikipedia page for Polymarket now links to the domain polymarcet [dot] com as official website, which seems like it could be a targeted attack. How does one report something like that?

well, I'm mostly concerned about this change not being visible in Wikipedia's edit history for that page, hinting at this being a very sophisticated attack that could hit a lot more pages / domains.

The change was made on the WikiData entry (and has already been reverted). Visible on the history there: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q123502863&action...
