Why did the owners of Wikipedia direct their mail to offices they did not occupy for three years?

It looks spooky (like everything else fishy that the Wikimedia Foundation does), but in this case, Eddie, it's nothing more than realizing that they created a template for their address:

{{Foundation address}}

This way, if the address is used in a bunch of places on the site, if and when it gets changed, they only have to update it in one spot, rather than a bunch of spots. When the template is updated, it will make it look -- even historically, on old edit page views -- that the current template text was "in place" even in the past. But it wasn't. You can see how the template evolved by looking here:

So, this mystery is solved, but we have plenty of other mysteries about the Wikimedia Foundation, where they leave you guessing -- deliberately -- in order to draw attention away from their malfeasance.

Idk but this is confusing :)
