Please use informal tone for Dutch fundraising translations

Hi McDutchie, thanks for your edits to donation interface translations for Dutch. We are using informal tone across the board for our campaigns in Netherlands and Belgium, so it's my understanding that using uw would divert from our general tone. I have undone your changes for now, but if you see more necessary edits please make them in the informal tone. Thank you!

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.
