The Wikimedia Foundation runs fundraising banner ads that some find annoying. There are two ways to hide these banners.
Account method
[edit]While logged in, users can suppress the fundraising banner as follows. This method works as long as you are logged in to your account.
- Log in or create a Wikipedia account. Creating an account is free, quick, and easy, and does not require an e-mail address or any other personal information.
- Go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-centralnotice-banners (This link should take you straight to the "Banners" section.)
- Uncheck the option the "Fundraising" item, which is under the "Banner types to display" heading.
- Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page. Refresh your browser window so the settings will take effect.
Temporary method
[edit]If you don't want to create an account, you can click this link to the Thank You page to suppress donation banners temporarily. This only works if you store cookies in your web browser.
