wikipedia donate banner

Post by anon »

Recently wikipedia has got a new donate bar at the top of every page.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

It is VERY annoying, plz add to filter list.

Thanks.

I'm not a big fan of the donate banner either, don't know if it will be added to any lists though.

FYI

Out of the 3 most popular lists, EasyElement+EasyList, fanboy-adblock and JamiePlucinski.com, 2 of them have wiki whitelisted(JamiePlucinski.com does not). Which means that you can not easily block it yourself if you use any of the list with the whitelists.

Whitelists have no effect on element-hiding ... which is the only way to remove that box anyway:

Code: Select all

en.wikipedia.org#table(class=fundraiser-box)

Not what I would have expected but good to know.

I'm using

Code: Select all

en.wikipedia.org#table(class=fundraiser-box)
en.wikipedia.org#span(class=fundquote)
... to block the box and the quote

Is this efficient?
Is there a way of combining the two rules together?
Even better is there way to say "on en.wikipedia.org block any element (span,div,class etc) with class=fund*" (where * is "anything")?

You could do this:

Code: Select all

wikipedia.org#*(class^=fund) 

But this would probably do too:

Code: Select all

wikipedia.org#div(id=siteNotice)

Thanks, they both work and I've learned something :D

It's reassuring to know that I no longer have to view an ugly, badly made advert as a reward for the thousands of bits of knowledge I've contributed to Wikipedia.

You shouldn't block div(id=siteNotice). Site notices aren't always annoying ads.

Wikipedia has a new "Donate Now" banner ad campaign and yet again this site comes to the rescue. This time the handy little "hide" link they provide to hide the banner only reduces it's size (from massive to large) rather than hiding it. Perhaps by the next campaign the "hide" button will reach out of the screen and slap you across the face for clicking it or even better, actually make it bigger. I can't wait to find out.

As mentioned a few posts above, adding

Code: Select all

wikipedia.org#div(id=siteNotice)
removes it. Blocking via the first suggestion above (wikipedia.org#*(class^=fund)) doesn't work this time

Looks like someone reads here. It's been updated from "hide" to "collapse".

It does look better, but I still preferred the old "text" way
Maybe I will block it, changes my focus on the banner instead of the article titles
