If you add the Annoyances list, does it remove the banner?

A few days ago I got tired of the endless wikipedia ads, and added the Fanboy Annoyances list. I have seen NO ads of any kind on wikipedia, ever since, and those things were annoying me every day. I try to keep the filter lists to a minimum but this one is a keeper.

You know, I can understand a site that shows ads unless you contribute and log in--I've contributed to wiki in the past, and would have considered a small annual subscription just to remove them. But I don't believe that option is offered.

I also found this:

Code: Select all

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain(wikipedia.org), domain(wikibooks.org), domain(wikiversity.org), domain(wiktionary.org), domain(wikiquote.org), domain(wikisource.org), domain(wikimedia.org), domain(wikinews.org), domain(uncyclopedia.org){
#centralNotice{display: none !important;}
}

do you have a more general option mapx ?
because if i'm going abroad, that filter is uneffective, for the simple reason
the add i get depends of the country where i'm browsing wikipedia .. .

something like

wikipedia.org###banner-nag
wikipedia.org###centralNotice

or

wikipedia.org###*banner-nag
wikipedia.org###centralNotice

it's strange, i don't even see frbanner-nag in the source code of the browsed wikipedia pages
& either i use

wikipedia.org###banner-nag
wikipedia.org###centralNotice

or


wikipedia.org###*banner-nag
wikipedia.org###centralNotice

or even:


wikipedia.org###byanyner-nyag
wikipedia.org###centralNotice

the paypal won't appear, but if i leave:
wikipedia.org###centralNotice
without adding the first line, it appears..

it's senseless to me
