It would be more accurate to say that it overlaps content that overflows
the 'content' div, whatever the reason for the overflow. And it may lead to
overflow in more situations, since it reduces the area available to the
content div. The usual horizontal scrolling that happens for content that
overflows the content div doesn't work right with the banner in place
because the scrolling takes effect on the body element rather than the
content div. Using the close button on the banner does seem to return these
pages to the status quo.

I see the Timeless skin has a vaguely similar issue (without the banner).
That skin does apply the horizontal scrolling to the content div, but the
scrollbar is way at the bottom of the page instead of at the bottom of the
screen.

Hi Βικιπαιδιστής,

I am sorry to learn that you felt harassed by some users at Greek
Wikipedia. However, you wrote "*From what I understand Wikimedia foundation
is not really interested of helping women who are being harassed*". So they
are interested in helping men who are being harassed? I don't know the
logic behind that comment but it sounds like something that does not exist
anywhere. Allegations of harassment requires strong evidences and in cases
where insufficient evidences were provided, I doubt the WMF will take any
action against the alleged person. This fundamentally have nothing to do
with gender. I'll encourage you to forward any complaints and evidence of
harassment to WMF SuSa. Mailing lists like this is often not the best place
for discussing issues like this. You may want to follow Asaf's advise
above.

Regards,

Isaac

I' m sorry to hear that Portuguese Wikipedia has similar problems as Greek
Wikipedia. Being the victim of harassment from administrators of Greek
Wikipedia (they post my real sex, name and email and archived my personal
data for future use to threaten me and the wikipedians who help me, telling
me that my harassment won t stop just in wikipedia but and in other social
media as the had done in the past) which led me to stop editing even tho
I'm a 100wikidayer and 100wikicommonsdayer and participated in an
international conference here in Greece presenting the work that the
community have done in Wikipedia. I think that letting fellow wikipedians
know about this kind of problems is crucial for the improvement of
community health because it can start some actions to resolve such cyber
crimes. From what I understand Wikimedia foundation is not really
interested of helping women who are being harassed as long as the bullying
is not reported to the police and the bullies are useful in wikipedia
projects as for example hosting a cee meeting or wikimania in Greece. They
are even rewarded with trips and let them participate in projects such as
women in Red, which is actually really funny if you think about it. The
bullies who sent women away from wikipedia are getting grands for
contacting workshops to find women who would like to participate in
wikipedia. :P They present themselves as educators in Greece but really who
would you like persons like that teaching their kids?
There is always a standard answer from wmf when someone complains of being
harassed: they say that this person is bitterful and not talking with
courtesy. In my case SUSA even implied that me (the victim) should
contacted my bullies and ask them politely to stop harassing me and did
absolutely nothing to help me. You see I m only a volunteer and not a
professional wikimedian so I m not really important to them.
I really hope the issues in Portuguese Wikipedia will resolve quickly
because I know how stressful and sad these situations can be not only for
the people involved but for all the community.

In an incognito browser, the banner shows in English. If I log in in an
incognito window and open the banner afterwards, it opens in a mixture of
English and Slovak, the text is in English but _some_ of the UI elements
are in Slovak, e.g. “Just Once”, but “Vyberte spôsob platby‎”; or “The
Wikimedia Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization. Mesačné
platby budú pripisované na účet nadácie Wikimedia Foundation dovtedy, kým
nepožiadate o ich zastavenie.” (As I said, I have Czech as the UI language,
and Slovak is a fallback language for Czech, so there is _some_ method in
it, I guess.)

Covers up half the periodic table on:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table?banner=dsk_p1_lg_right10=US=1

In fact lets just face it this thing does not like tables:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF_400mm_lens?banner=dsk_p1_lg_right10=US=1

It overlaps longer equations (see around the Efficient methods section):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximations_of_%CF%80?banner=dsk_p1_lg_right10=US=1

I suspect it also breaks with lilypond but I don't have an example to hand
