Help me! Link account with contributions
Please help me with... I'm currently donating to Wikipedia/wikimedia. How do I link my donations with this account? Lukemcope (talk) 14:49, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * First, let me thank you for your donations. Although much of the work on Wikipedia is done by volunteers, a certain amount of actual funds are needed to keep the servers going and to pay for bandwidth.
 * There is no formal way to connect your donations with your username. You are welcome to state on your user page (which hasn't been created yet) that you are a donor.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 15:13, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

That's fine. I just wanted to raise my donation amount and figured I could manage it through this. I can just email donate@wikimedia.org then.

Thanks! Lukemcope (talk) 15:18, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, that should work. One aspect of the separation of responsibilities between the Foundation and the Wikipedia project is that we volunteers on Wikipedia don't have any access to the donor databases, etc, which is as it should be, if I can editorialize.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 16:34, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
