At the bottom of the page you can find the support channels โ the fastest one is to contact them on Matrix โ if you don't have Matrix and can't set one up then you shoukd email the support.polkadot.network account
Once you join the matrix room you should type a message something like:
"Hello I have sent an identity.RequestJudgement extrinsic to the w3f Registrar to verify my on-chain ID via my Twitter account. Could you please assist me with the Twitter challenge?"
"Hello I have sent an identity.RequestJudgement extrinsic to the w3f Registrar to verify my on-chain ID via my Twitter account. Could you please assist me with the Twitter challenge?"
You should follow the W3F support staff instructions - most likely you will get some long string of letters & numbers that you should send to the @w3f_registrar account.
But you should follow what the support staff tell you to do in any case.

There are other ways to do this - for example you can do this all via Polkassembly AFAIK.
