Seems like a good time to donate one's resources to fix it. The internet is super hostile these days. If Wikipedia falls... well...

It's a political issue. Editors are unwilling or unable to contribute to development of the features they need to edit.

Unfortunately, Wikipedia is run on insecure user scripts created by volunteers that tend to be under the age of 18.

There might be more editors trying to resume boost if editing Wikipedia under your real name didn't invite endless harassment.

Wikipedia doesn't even spend donation of Wikipedia anymore.

Sounds more like a political issue this. Can't buy your way out of that.

My understanding is that Wikipedia receives more donations than they need, surely they have the resources to fix it themselves?
