I thought this was gonna be about Wikipedia finally shutting down because nobody donates

They are actually getting too many donations, many times more than they need to run wikipedia. There was and is a big conflict about the unsustainable growth of donations to the foundation and its questionable use of those funds.

Huh, now that is a truly interesting bit of information.

An interesting bit of information without any sources at all…

Similar to Mozilla (but not from donations but instead of its millions paid to it by Google)

Remember, if you donate to the WMF, they will use that money to enforce “WMF global bans” against users trying to make useful contributions but who once looked at the wrong people funny.

Very happy to see it come to wikipedia!!

But I think it also needs some polish. The contrast is too high and the blue on black of the hyperlinks is too garish for sure.

If you are on desktop and you aren’t sure how it works, try out this Wiki page and in the top right corner you can see an “eyeglasses” looking icon. Click that and set it to Automatic or Dark.

No, thats the job hunting website. Wikipedia is the one anyone can edit historical facts.
