Please use informal tone for Dutch fundraising translations

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:McDutchie

Thing is, the entire MediaWiki nl translation is in the formal tone. The rule is that informal equivalents go into nl-informal where they differ. I don't think it is a good idea to make exceptions to that rule as it quickly becomes hairy and difficult to track. I will start a discussion with the admins to consider whether maybe the current nl/nl-informal situation needs to be rethought altogether, as the formal tone is rapidly becoming obsolete in the Netherlands (though not in Flanders/Belgium, AFAIK). In the meantime I will honour your request, but it's possible other translators won't be aware of it and will change it to formal again.
