-- True. I also saw the banner several times (not this year) until I enabled " Suppress display of fundraiser banners" in preferences>>gadgets (tried on En Wikipedia). As a sidenote I found it very difficult to donate using an Indian Visa debit card or internet banking (that's all I have). It would be great if someone can suggest me (feel free to PM me or write to User talk:Titodutta directly) how to donate using the mentioned payment options.
Thanks Tito Dutta Note: If I don't reply to your email in 2 days, please feel free to remind me over email or phone call.

WMF hasn't shown fundraising banners to logged in users for several
years.
While I wouldn't bet my life on it, I'm pretty sure I saw banners on mobile just last month, while being logged in.

Hey Ori,
I like the creative thinking :) For the fundraising that could indeed
work
well (although I have no numbers on what percentage of domations comes
from
logged in users etc), but there are also campaigns tht are quite
relevant
for logged in users.

This is possibly the most annoying feature of the Wikimedia
projects at
the moment. You access a page. Then you start reading or editing it.
And
then suddenly the page jumps when a fundraising banner / central
notice /
gadget / beta feature loads. So you have to start reading the page
again,
or you have to find where you were editing again, or you have to undo
the
change you just made since you made it in the wrong part of the page.
Or you click "edit" and it hits the banner that suddenly popped up under your click. AAAAAAAAAAAA
One possible solution would be to exempt anyone who edits an article
from
being shown a banner by means of a cookie with a suitable expiry.
Since
only a tiny fraction of visitors edit, I would expect the impact on
the
WMF's bottom line to be negligible. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
