4. Hide humongous Wikipedia donation element after having donated.

This.

The wikipedia page is completely broken on mobile devices during the fundraiser. (Text in the popup is so large that it becomes impossible to hit the close button).

I have donated to wikipedia for the past 5 years, and will continue to do so. But the fundraiser banner is just terrible, and persists after you donated.

It is really annoying to get that even after donating. I have never signed up for a wikipedia account (which, now that I think about it, is kind of amazing?) but if I had one, would the donation dialog disappear after donating? Maybe I will sign up to find out.
At the very least for me it didn't last time I donated: the donation seems to be completely untied to your account.
To be fair, that is an ad.
