How did Wikipedia layout become so bloated? Every single page is mostly sidebars, each has to be clicked
'hide' for every pageload(it does not save the state of sidebars!!) to reveal the article squeezed inside.
For the "full sidebars on" default, it requires either a 8k screen or 30% zoom to even see an article content. |
The only way I can get it to reset is to clear my cookies, so its likely that.

}And in any event, I have a really hard time getting worked up about the relatively small amount of money they deal with - and use to do a lot of good for the world - while corruption and greedy corporations are as rampant and filthy rich as they are.
Wikipedia itself has become corrupted and politically and ideologically biased in past years. It has been shown multiple times.
When you stop pursuing the truth and start pursuing an agenda - things get ugly over time. It’s a general pattern.
Feel free to share.
Corruption is fought best by not allowing it anywhere at all.
Nothing about this is clear. What makes you think that, if the donations were to significantly fall off, they would be unable to reduce expenses?
