Can't keep track.

I've been using Google bookmarks on windows 10. I can't find a star or watchlist feature anywhere on the Wiki pages I visit. I signed up to edit once but I didn't proceed. Is there an easy way to keep track on Wikipedia itself? I'm a recurring donor. Deanprine (talk) 21:32, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea about Google bookmarks. There is a watchlist feature. In the Wikipedia skin I use it is on the top right corner. The button has three horizontal lines and a star. You can add a page to the list with a star icon on the header of the page. This is probably better explained at Help:Watchlist. --Error (talk) 23:05, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As an aside, I imagine your browser has a History feature: Firefox has History > Show all history, with a search function which shows every Wikpedia page I have visited since 2021. By the way, when you donate through Wikipedia, you are actually giving your money to the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), which provides the internet access and servers on which all Wikipedia projects run. The WMF is in no way short of cash. This might sound ungrateful, but we are mostly all entirely unpaid volunteers, and some of us object to WP being used as a front for donations to the WMF, over whose coffers we have no control whatsoever.

hello and thanks I think I figured it out. Where should my money go instead? Deanprine (talk) 20:44, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
