All -- we will not have a pop-up banner.
And how exactly would you describe this then?

I got something like that on my mobile phone yesterday, only it didn't cover 80% of the screen but over 400% of it (over four full screens), and unlike your example, it was not possible to scroll past it (it's a "pop-over" that has to be dismissed by scrolling back to the top and hitting the difficult-to-hit "x").
I also note that the german "banners" claim 20€ average donations while the screenshot above claims 10 GBP (which is currently around 12.50€). Never minding that only a small part of the donations is used as claimed in these "banners" (keeping Wikipedia "online and ad-free" for a year).
Is the Foundation also still running "banners" that spoof web browser security messages?
