Wiki-Ads Extension

Wikipedia depends on users' donations to survive. Now you can donate just by installing this extension and browsing Wikipedia. This extension adds tasteful Amazon.com advertisements to Wikipedia pages. When you purchase an item through these ads, Amazon pays a commission to Wiki-Ads, and we donate 100% of these profits to Wikipedia.

This extension only runs when you're on Wikipedia.org, so it won't affect any other webpages in any way.

Note: If you have an ad blocker installed, you have to configure it to exclude wikipedia.org.

Mika Norén (ID: 0000007fe985bdc5) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/12/2018 Wikipedia itself does not support advertising through or on the Wikipedia web site or any of its articles. I do wonder, how do they then receive the ad revenues from something they don't support or stand behind? To me it looks like someone else is getting the revenue on behalf of wikipedia. If that is the case, it is a nasty exploitation.

Justin Cherveny (ID: 000000aa39c0db5d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/31/2013 Works perfectly. I had to disable ad-blocker, which I will only do for wikipedia. They should feel special.
