I don’t think that’s where a lot of donors (especially but not exclusively conservative donors) want their money going, and I don’t think Wikipedia’s donation requests would lead people to understand that that’s where some of their money would be going.
Why are you trying to frame this as if wikipedia was lying on where their funding goes when your own source is their own transparency article?
They’re not lying but they’re being misleading. Everyone who donates sees the donation page, but it’s reasonable to assume that almost all of those donors don’t read the “Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2023-2024/Finance” page.
