Community

• [Support Wikipedia] - A few Wikipedias show since long a small note to anonymous users to suggest a donation to the WMF. One of those is the English language Wikipedia. That notice has now grown a fair deal larger on that wiki. Also a second, small, anon notice is included to draw attention of the visitors about  the way wikipedia differs from other websites and how one should use wikipedia. Currently that is "Researching with Wikipedia"
