Donations

Dear Wikipedia Team, Honestly, if I could donate, I would! But I'm in middle school and I don't have any money. The notifications asking for money make me feel guilty that I haven't donated yet...But trust me, I would love to donate if I could. Is there any way to temporarily stop the notifications from popping up?Just until I can donate. Thank you. NeraSpikeFire (talk) 03:20, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

If you are unable to donate - or even if you can - there is seriously no reason to feel guilty. Wikipedia knows nothing about the personal circumstances of editors, so it cannot target particular groups. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 03:29, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

He asked the same question last December.[1] And you're right, there's no guilt required for not donating. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 06:19, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

To hide the fundraising banners, you can uncheck Preferences → Banners → Fundraising. I suggest you also read Wikipedia finances before you decide whether to donate your money. Shantavira|^{feed me} 08:16, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Excellent. That chart shows that they are overflowing with money. No guilt needed! ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 14:35, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
