Hey David & Romaine,
I wanted to just give a quick reply to let you know that I am looking into
this further.
I will reiterate that WMF fundraising does not and has not actively shown
fundraising banners to logged in users for the past five years and I do
apologise if you've been disrupted in your work whether through human or
technical error.
The possible causes for this are numerous and it will take time to identify
the scale, cause and solution to this.
Regards
Seddon

I am sorry to say but I am constantly logged in and do
see fundraising
banners every year.
Each time when it was announced fundraising banners would come, I have seen
them logged in, in multiple countries.

Hey Strainu,
You are probably right in that you saw a banner but regarding
specifically
fundraising banners, I am 100% certain that the
WMF does not and has not
for some years actively shown banners to users who are logged in. The
caveat with that is this does not preclude any possibility of human error
or a software bug. I'm not aware of any specific occasion where this has
occurred in the last two years but with a piece of software that serves
billions of page views, across 20-30 countries and some probably some
3000
banner tests during that period, probabilities
that something hadn't gone
wrong start reaching levels of sigma that not even I would attempt to
claim
:P
Regards
Seddon

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.
