Wikipedia pages have overlay in the text area: GNAA Notice – over Bumble app • Hacker News Board

Hmm, I wonder if Wikipedia intentionally allows users to add HTML or if they just missed some input sanitizing. Or could it just be clever use of the content editor - maybe the editor allows you to specify image dimensions? Still not sure how they would get the fixed-position wrapper div in there, though, without typing in the HTML.

Seems like someone edited that into a template: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Finance_... (the actual content of the revision has been hidden though, so no way to check)
