Bug #: 32471
Summary: Fundraiser banner opt out needs an interface
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Fundraising - misc
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
This might be a duplicate bug, but...
The fundraising banners apparently have an obscure opt out system currently.
It's described at
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28miscellaneous%29&oldid=461156874#How_to_hide_all_fundraising_banners_on_all_Wikimedia_wikis_until_next_year>.
There should be a proper UI for this kind of thing. Either a Special page or
something similar. Envisioned workflow:
* user clicks "x" on a banner
* small pop-up asks "do you want to hide all fundraiser banners? y / n"
** clicking "y" leads to a confirmation page (probably with the obligatory
begging)
** clicking "n" leads to the small banner disappearing; banners will resume
within a week (or whatever the current timeout on the dismiss cookie is)
I don't think adding this to the UI will make it any less of an advanced
feature than URL magic. That is, I think the same people who would use the URL
magic will use the interface. It's just a cleaner, saner way to do it.
