[WikiEN-l] Sidebar donation link on en:wp changed

We've been getting donations through with text like "For the flood
victims" - i.e., the donor thinks it's a donation to the subject of
the article; and there's no reliable way to tell just who they were
actually talking about. I changed it to "Donate to Wikipedia" to make
it clear who a donation would be to.

I assume that's the right place to make the change, once it percolates
through all the layers of caching, and it isn't actually supposed to
be somewhere else ...

(I considered making it "Donate to Wikimedia", which is more correct,
but I'd hope the page the link goes to would make that clear ... at
least for those donors who read, if not those who've been thinking
they could donate to the page subject on that link ...)
