@DerHexer:, @Martin Urbanec: and @Vermont: Good evening everyone and I'm really sorry to bother you but I want to check if everything is OK with this request since this campaing is about to start. Thank you so much in advance and I remain at your disposal in case there's any questions. Best, --Paula (WDU) (talk) 01:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Paula (WDU), nothing's been done on our end yet. Sorry for the delay here, and no worries for pinging us. The settings look okay re: language and region, though we generally can't do a full two months. 4 weeks is the longest we generally do, the usual cap is 2.
I'm also going to hold off on enabling this until we get approval from JBrungs (WMF); according to the calendar there would be some overlap for anonymous editors viewing eswiki in 5 countries. (In the future, please remember to add your banner to the calendar too.)
I've made a campaign and can make a banner when this is good to go, or someone else can, I'm unfortunately very busy.
Thanks for the ping. Yes, we are running a fundraising campaign until the end of May in CL, CO, MX, PE, UY. This means 75% of non-logged in users will see a fundraising banner first, before they will see your campaign banner. If this is ok with you, I don't see a problem with the campaign as long as CN admins are ok with it. Have a good campaign. Best, JBrungs (WMF) (talk) 04:49, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have you always wanted to learn more about Wikidata and its use in Wikimedia projects? Take part in the online event Wikidata Leveling Up Days from April 5th to 14th, 2024!
Hello there, it's been a while since last time I requested a CentralNotice campaign, so if I forgot something, let me know!
We would love to advertise our next online event, the Wikidata Leveling Up Days, targetted at people who want to learn more about Wikidata. We would like to have it running on Wikidata, Commons, Wikipedia, Wikivoyage and Wikisource, for logged-in users only, from March 25 to April 14. Although the event is taking place in English, most content will be released in advance in video on Commons so people can add translated captions.
You've requested that this be shown in all languages. In effect, this means it would be shown to logged-in users on every Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Wikisource, Commons, and Wikidata. Given that the event is taking place (only?) in English, and that the landing page isn't even translatable, this is not okay. We should, as much as is reasonably possible, not be showing English banners to people whose interface language is not English. If English-language ability is required to participate in the event, it should be shown only in English. If it is able to be supported in more languages, relevant content/instructions/etc. should be available in those languages. (see guidelines on "relevant targets")
Did you notify the target wikis of the banner request? Considering your request is for ~500 wikis, I'm assuming no, so I'd recommend notifying the relevant wikis after you've adjusted which wikis you want to run this on. (see guidelines, "The target wikis should be notified of the Meta-Wiki discussion...")
There are 6 WMDE staff accounts with the CentralNotice administrator right. There are fewer volunteer CN admins. Can one of your staff facilitate this request?
Hi Vermont, thanks a lot for your reply. I just wanted to mention that we can put this request on hold while I'm discussing with my colleagues and see how I can reduce the scope of the banner and work on improvements. Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk) 13:41, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AndreFrank-WMIL and מקף: Please note that campaigns have to requested at least 10 days in advance (see CNR) because of possible issues that can show up. Unfortunately, that's here the case:
What is this campaign about? As CentralNotice administrators, we had to give a category to the campaign (Article writing, Photography, Event, Fundraising, etc.). Unfortunately, my Hebrew is a bit odd and without any information beyond Wikimedia Israel campaign "רוצים שהעולם ילמד שהוא עגול? עגלו לטובת הוויקיפדיה העברית!" I cannot assign a useful category.
As far as I can conclude from the automated translation of the landing page, you are (also) asking for donations. As per CentralNotice guidelines, any kind of fundraising campaigns have to be forwarded to the Wikimedia Foundation staff 90 days in advance so that agreements can be signed, etc.
Campaigns that intend to target wide audiences (i.e., anonymous users in particular) should be announced on the local village pump and usually can only be enabled when there is no objection from the local community as well.
Lastly, we cannot make good use of images for CentralNotice banners. Although I could embed it into a banner and make the general background black, it will be a major problem for all devices beyond desktop PCs (mobile views often cover more than 50 % of readers so that you likely don't want me to disable that). Usually, either the banner design is provided in HTML/CSS/JavaScript by the requester or we adapt the standard banner where we can use one logo on the left (maybe another one on the right) and a short text with only a few other changes at max. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)12:15, 1 March 2024 (UTC) PS: See further my presentation about CentralNotice campaigns here.[reply]
Hi, thanks for the detailed explanation. This is the first time I make such a request and what you wrote helps me a lot.* So, for me, probably just to postpone the start and end date respectively, I guess the main thing is that it will take about a month in total.
This is a WMIL fundraising campaign, suggests the readers who are interested in doing so, to round the purchases amounts on credit to the nearest new shekel round whole number, and to donate the Israeli agoras (= the little rounded amount). If you would like to know more about this donation concept (quite familiar in Israel), here is a more detailed explanation: w:he:עיגול לטובה (machine translation to english)
Ok. @Andre, I hope you can take care of this aspect. Perhaps the WMF already knows the WMIL campaign from previous years and will confirm it quickly.
Is it possible to implement this banner using two separate almost identical banners, the only difference being that one is optimized for desktop and the other for mobile devices?
Thanks for the proposed steps. As soon as I have all information, I can set up the campaign without the further delay of 10 days. I can also add two banner variants, one for desktop, the other for mobile. Please keep in mind that only HTML/CSS/JavaScript can be used, no wiki markup (the image could be used but has flaws, as said). I'm pinging JBrungs (WMF) so that she is notified about the campaign and can add her OK when everything is cut and dried from the fundraising end. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)16:41, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AndreFrank-WMIL and מקף: I know WMIL has run the Round Up campaign before. Have you been in touch with the WMF office this year? I was in touch with @OphirT - WMIL about the campaign last year. We need to renew agreements before you can run the campaign. If this has already happened, great, but can you drop me an email at jbrungs at wikimedia dot org and let me know the details so I can double check this from my side? Thank you!

@Ritamaliqi: Please request banner campaign at least 10 days before the start of the campaign as per CentralNotice/Request. Often we need to give advice on what to do before we can enable the campaign.
In your case, “What countries will your campaign target? sq, en, sv, de, fr, nl, it, es, pt, no, fi, da & ar” makes no sense. These are language codes and not country names. Please provide both: language codes and country names.
For larger communities, a local notification would be required when anonymous users in a wide range of countries would be targeted.
@Ritamaliqi: No worries, I can still create the campaign but I will need the requested information on countries, and you can still let the local communities know about the campaign and start with translations. Does this make sense? :) Best, —DerHexer(Talk)15:50, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ritamaliqi: Thanks for that! You intend to target anonymous users in many large countries where other campaigns currently take place (see CentralNotice/Calendar, please let the organizers of the other campaigns and the local village pumps know that this campaign is planned and might overlap with others. For global campaigns, local ambassadors are recommended who can spread the word to their communities so that you are not on your own with preparations. In case that's too much work for now, is there a chance to postpone the campaign and look for a better time and give yourself more time for preparation? Otherwise I fear that this will be learnings for the next edition. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)12:23, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johannnes89: Wir möchten das Banner gerne für eine Woche schalten. Ggf. dann nochmal verlängern bzw. neu zeigen, wenn wir noch Anmeldungen brauchen über den 24.3. hinaus. Ich würde Dir gerne die Beurteilung über einen günstigen Zeitraum überlassen, daher habe ich 15.-24. angegeben (was ja mehr als eine Woche ist). Will nicht Jugend editiert oder anderen gerade laufenden Bannern in die Parade fahren, daher wäre das fein, wenn Du was vorschlägst. Wir könnten auch 17.–24. oder 15.–22. laufen lassen. Habe gesehen, dass der Zukunftskongress wohl parallel läuft. Wenn eine Parallelschaltung dazu führt, dass unser Banner nur bei jedem 2. Besuch angezeigt wird, ist das auch okay. Grüße! --Grizma (talk) 12:24, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Grizma, Jugend Editiert ist in dem Fall kein Problem, da wir das nur für unangemeldete User schalten und die FemCon an angemeldete User geht. Mit Blick auf CentralNotice/Calendar wird allerdings vom 15.-22.03. das Einladungsbanner zum WMDE Zukunftskongress sowie vom 18.-30.03. der globale Aufruf zur U4C-Kandidatur und vom 07.-31.03. das globale Banner zum Monat der Ukrainischen Kulturdiplomatie geschaltet.
Weil die sich eh alle überschneiden, ist jeder Zeitraum für euren Banner quasi gleich gut/schlecht, in jedem Fall klauen die Banner sich gegenseitig etwas Reichweite. Johannnes89 (talk) 19:15, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wäre aus meiner Sicht unproblematisch, dann machen wir doch 15.-24., da es nicht ständig gezeigt werden wird. Und dann schauen wir mal, wo wir stehen. :D Grizma (talk) 20:31, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Johannnes89: Das Banner wurde ziemlich sporadisch nur angezeigt, wir konnten die Anmeldefrist verlängern bis 7. April, siehst Du ne Chance, wenn das Banner zum Zukunftskongress ausgelaufen ist, unseres nochmal für ein paar Tage zu zeigen? --Grizma (talk) 21:57, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Moin @Grizma, ich hab eure am 24.03. geendete Kampagne wieder aktiviert und das Enddatum vorerst auf den 06. April gesetzt. Das Problem besteht allerdings weiterhin: Der Aufruf zu den U4C-Kandidaturen läuft noch bis zum 30. März (und ist essentiell für alle Projekte als quasi „globales Schiedsgericht“). Die Kampagne zum Zukunftskongress wurde ebenfalls verlängert, weil die Bannerausspielung eher gering war, die läuft auch noch bis zum 30.03.
Ich hab die Reichweite eurer Kampagnen nun etwas erhöht, indem ich die Kampagne zu Ukraine's Cultural Diplomacy Month für deutschsprachige User deaktiviert habe [4]. Das lief ja nun schon seit dem 01.03. und würde in vier Tagen enden. @DerHexer fyi.
Das WMF Banner zu den Desktop improvements wird schon gar nicht mehr ausgespielt laut Banner-Allocation [5], weil es mit geringer Priorität nur dann läuft, wenn keine wichtigeren Banner ausgespielt werden.
Laut CentralNotice/Calendar kommen ab Anfang April aber schon die nächsten Kampagnen, mit denen ihr euch Reichweite teilen müsst, z.B. ab dem 01.04. eine von WMCH für Schweiz und Lichtenstein oder ab dem 03.04. eine globale Kampagne zur Movement Charter Community feedback period. Und eigentlich wollte WMDE ab Ende März noch ne globale (also auch in dewiki ausgespielte) Wikidata-Kampagne schalten, die aber aktuell unter Diskussion ist und vielleicht doch nicht in dewiki läuft.
Da die Anmeldefrist zum Zukunftskongress am 03.04. endet und die zur FemNetzCon am 07.4. habt ihr leider auch keine Flexibilität, auf ein besseres Zeitfenster für eure Kampagnen zu warten (was absehbar in den nächsten Wochen auch nicht kommen wird). Am besten besprichst du dich mal mit @Merle von Wittich (WMDE), ob euch vielleicht Lösungen einfallen. Johannnes89 (talk) 08:32, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just wanted you and your colleagues to know that we will be running a fundraising campaign for non logged in users in Brazil until the 13th of April. This means that your banners will be shown to non logged in users only after the user has seen 10 fundraising banner impressions. Let me know if you have any questions or I can help with anything. Best JBrungs (WMF) (talk) 06:02, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The campaign duration was not added yet, so we cannot know if they will be overlapping. @Lilian: Please fill out the template as needed. —DerHexer(Talk)16:24, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Lilian Viana: Sadly not. Most information is still missing. I think it makes most sense to withdraw this request and start a new one on CNR where it's easier to fill out each line of the request template instead of editing the wikitext here. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)09:41, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @DerHexerthank you for your effort to help me. I follow your orientation and I tried to create another request but when I preview it, it was wrong so I didn't create another request (because it will have the same problems). So I edited this request.

Description - The banner is to promote the Quinzaine des autrices francophones campaign and a call for participation.
The campaign is open for 15 days but we would like to let people know a few weeks in advance that it is happening. We want to run the banner in multiple languages to enable participation from multiple languages as we have been running the campaign for thr third year there is a pool of translatable articles in other languages.
Many participants are new and we want to retain them on the projects afterwards so we would like the banner to be running for IP addresses as well. The campaign runs over all francophone speaking parts of the world, and in some countries local events will take place IRL, organized by local teams, with a special focus on african francophone speaking countries. It also aims at initiating translations in all languages of the produced articles in the past years, as this is the 3rd edition.

Hi, my name is Julia and I work for the WMF's fundraising team. I just wanted to let you know that for the last two weeks of your campaign we will be running a fundraising campaign in Brazil. You list Brazil as one of the countries of your campaign. This will mean that readers in Brazil (non-logged in ones) will see 10 impressions of the fundraising banner first before they will see your campaign banners - at least on Portuguese and English Wikipedia in Brazil, if your banners only fun on French Wikipedia in Brazil it should not be an issue. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, JBrungs (WMF) (talk) 06:45, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Description - Article writing challenge on Ukrainian culture and people Metrics - Last year 1401 articles were created during the campaign, this year we expect the same involvment. Also last year almost 70% of participants said that they have found out about contest through CN banner, so it is very important in promotion of campaign. Similar page with results will be published by the end of this year's contest with all the measurements.
What banner(s) will you use? What will be your landing page?[edit]
Banners - the same banner as last year (please insert correct link to the landing page) but with this picture and this backgroud colour code: #0593ff
You would like to turn on this banner on 7th of March, but 8th of March is International Womens Day. This banner will run until March 9th. Would it be possible to change your request to start after that? Please also be considerate of other banners running in March. Thanks! Ciell (talk) 12:48, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They are both campaigns focused on article writing, both have a global target, both target logged-in users. WLA is also running already, which is another global targeted campaign. Sorry, we need to coordinate a bit here @ValentynNefedov (WMUA)! Ciell (talk) 08:59, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think it is 1) fair to other campaign organizers nor 2) doing a service to users really, to display the banner in all langages and all geographies. In general, we tend to target people so to maximize impact and minimize annoyement. So why would this campaign be displayed to Hausa speakers ? Why would it be displayed in Zimbabwe ?
WLA made the deliberate choice to display itself in Africa. But Africans people also live in Ukraine. And some Ukrainians have pictures from Africa in their drawers. We could ask that the banner be displayed in all countries, including Ukraine, just in case we grab a couple of posters. We could ask that it be displayed in Ukrainian langage too. But we do not because we think there might be more interesting banners running at the same time that would be more interesting for Ukrainians and we do not want to grab attention that would be better placed.
Another example… in March… in Benin… a direct target of WLA, we also share the space with Women Month. And with Month of Francophonie. And with Quinzaine des autrices perhaps ? (I have not checked). And with Wiki Loves Folklore. All those are relevant to people living in Benin. Very relevant. I would say all those banners are more relevant than writing about Ukrainian culture. And whilst I VERY much think that it is VERY important to do diplomatic stuff around Ukraine, I doubt very much that Benin people, for whom Women day is very special, will give priority to Ukrainian diplomacy over gender issues on the 8th of March. And generally, I kinda think the Benin team, who is running WLA and likely participate to French month, would perhaps find logical to see WLA or Gender or Month of contribution banners a bit more than Ukrainian culture.
All that to say that… please… consider the public, consider your most important target and consider the kindness in sharing the space withe other organizers. Anthere on phone…
Another note about coordination… WLA made its requests about 2 MONTHS ago to precisely coordinate. You made your request end of Feb for early March and you are saying more coordination is required ?
Am going to be bold here and ask that THIS banner be only activated on March 9 by respect for ALL parties who have coordinated for weeks to have one unique banner for gender gap topics. We are dozen who made the effort… I think uk banner can wait two more days. The gender gap page is also open to everyone. Anthere.
@Anthere: I am taken aback a bit to be honest. Last year wikipedian, writing in Hausa, got third place, so I think this campaign is indeed important and interesting for participants from Africa as well. With due respect, banner for WLA is going to run for 2 months and our only for 3 weeks. @DerHexer:, I indeed planned to run banner from 1st of March but design of visuals and all communication stuff got delayed, so to adhere to all procedures I asked for it to be started on 7th of March. However, judging from comments above, even this starting date is upsetting for some people. If consensus is such, I thing we can still cope with campaign starting on 9th of March.--ValentynNefedov (WMUA) (talk) 15:46, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which is why my main request regarding the 8th of March, where so many gender gap groups get together to stick to one single banner. Anthere
For the sake of all the WP:GAP events (just have a look, there are so many!!) please have your banner start at March 10... And I have to say I agree with Anthere about the targeting. It does not really scale to have a global banner for just one country each year. The guidelines say to be as unobtrusive as possible and as narrowly tailored as necessary. For WLA, this means their banner only targets the African countries (though I am sure they would like the rest of the world to work on African related content as well!), and why the Celebrate Women banner (mostly, unless requested otherwise) only targets the countries and languages mentioned on the events page. More specific targeting makes up for a longer banner period, but please don't try to have both at the expense of other organizers in the movement. Ciell (talk) 15:00, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with @Ciell and @Anthere. There are a million topic areas that need improvement, some of which suffer from systemic bias a lot more than Ukraine-related articles. Banner bloat is a big problem on Wikipedia, and we need to minimize it to avoid nulling attention where it's truly needed. Displaying this banner globally, without any sort of tailoring, does not seem justified. (The lack of meaningful prizes/prize info is an exacerbating factor.)
@DerHexer, adding my comments to Ciell's and Anthere's, I am not seeing a firm consensus for this banner to run with its current settings. Could you please deactivate it until a consensus is established? Sdkbtalk11:30, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping. I've lowered traffic to 40% and published the 5 pending translations.
I don't think there's a need to outright pull this. It's March 14th, past the requests above to start it on March 10th. The remaining issue is region/language.
I'm personally of the perspective that we should not be showing untranslated content in a different language basically ever: if someone is shown a banner in a language they don't understand, and the event page is not available in their language, and the organizers do not speak their language...there is no benefit to them being shown the banner. Fortunately, in this case, the event page itself is translated into many languages, though the banner isn't. We really should have stricter and more clear guidelines on this.

@ValentynNefedov (WMUA): I've created the campaign and cloned the banner (preview). The dark blue button wasn't very visible on the light blue background which is why I've changed its color to a yellow one from your logo. I hope that looks good to you. As soon as you have checked everything, please ping me so that I can enable the campaign. I've seen your notifications to the local village pumps. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)14:58, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ValentynNefedov (WMUA): I considered that you had a special reason why you didn't want to have the banner started on 1 March, maybe for the local messages and invitations first. I'm open to have the campaign started earlier. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)14:58, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Anthere and ValentynNefedov (WMUA): Woops, for my message above I had missed the conversation in the other section. Now everything makes more sense. I have changed the start date to 9 March. Do you want some other changes? Number of impressions? Priority (e.g., we can show one of the campaigns with its number of impressions first and the other one only afterwards)? Traget countries or languages? Just let me know and please ping me so that I can follow better. Indeed, there a numerous requests right now. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)16:04, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick answer. For us it's fine when both the organizers are okay with it. :) It will reduce the display to 50 % for each campaign (unless you want different ratios) but other than that there shouldn't be any obstacles. @Richard Sekerak (WMCZ): Please also confirm so that we can continue with the process.

A tiny friendly FYI for everyone involved, incl. @Ciell, I'm only helping out with the banner's code as part of introducing @Sara to the world of CN. On a side note, I've removed the underscore from the CTA, because it was also bolded (it's like a general good practice - one way of emphasis is sufficient). I'd also consider removing the special color on hover on CTA since in fact, the entire banner is clickable. Formatting the CTA differently may be slightly misleading - it may suggest that there's a linked area within a different linked area. Thanks!

Description - Call for participation to Wiki Loves Africa 2024.
The banner is to promote the Wiki Loves Africa photo campaign. It is a call for participation.
It is pretty much unchanged compared to previous years. The contest is open for 2 months. We run the banner only in Africa (though the contest is open everywhere). Every year, 90% or so of our participants are new (and some are retained there after !), so running the banner for IP addresses is very important as it serves as recruitment system for new participants. The contest runs over all African countries. In some countries (around 30), local teams will organize activities. They are very much in ask for the banners (both because it helps promote the contest in countries where wikipedia is not very well known) and because it makes them feel we take them seriously (and we do of course...).

Hi @Paula Duran (WMCO): Just a brief note, there is a fundraising campaign in Brazil for part of your campaign (the fundraising campaign starts on the 19th of March) which means that non logged in users will see fundraising banners first as of the 19th of March, and your banners only after they have seen 10 impressions of the fundraising banners.

Hi @Janbery, I've created your campaign and banner. Could you please review, and also test your banner on different devices (mobile, laptop, etc)?
I notice a few differences from previous years in your request (2022 example), mainly that you want to target Commons and Wikidata as well, even though it is not clear that your article writing campaign WikiGap has expanded it's scope. Please make sure to only target those projects that are interested in the campaign: it's easy to 'overuse' the powerful tool of CentralNotice banner and it will use its power if we do. Ciell (talk) 14:06, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ciell, thank you for creating the request. We can drop Wikidata, but I'd like to keep Commons in. WikiGap is mostly focused on articles, but we'we given out special prizes to photographers before. You are right, let's not waste this tool for everyone! I will edit the request above.
I did some checking on both mobile and pc, it looks good to me. I'll send it out to my colleagues so we have more devices/configs tested. I will let you know when we have testing done.

Description - Wiki Loves Folklore, an annual international photography contest hosted on Wikimedia Commons from February 1st to March 31st, serves as a global initiative to amass a diverse collection of media. The primary objective is to contribute content to Wikipedia and other online platforms, all under free licenses. The contest focuses on capturing and showcasing unique images that represent and document the intangible cultural heritage of various communities worldwide.
Structured with both national coordinators and an International Team, the campaign ensures comprehensive coverage. National coordinators, responsible for organizing Wiki Loves Folklore within their respective countries, play a vital role in fostering local participation. Simultaneously, the International Team steps in to organize the contest in countries lacking designated national coordinators, thereby addressing the representation gap within the Wikimedia ecosystem.

Please check everything. If you have a 2024 logo, I can also add that to the campaign(s). If you have separate landing pages for Wikipedia language editions, I can add these links to the country campaign.

@EPorto (WMB): In the country campaign, I can only set a landing page for an entire Wikipedia (e. g., ptwiki). For the combination of language (pt) and country (Brazil) a separate campaign is needed. I can create such campaign, though. What do you think? Best, —DerHexer(Talk)19:08, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DerHexer I think that will work, because Portugal and the other lusophone countries do not have an organizational team regarding this contest. Ultimately, if one team appears, we can set a landing page for all the lusophone communities, as there is for WLM. Cheers, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 19:48, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPorto (WMB): I'm not sure how to proceed. Do you mean that you will create a landingpage on ptwiki for all countries, not only Brazil? Or do you want me to create the campaign for ptwiki & Brazil? I can do both, but I need to know what's correct. ;) Best, —DerHexer(Talk)20:32, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, @DerHexer, I misunderstood. If you can, please create the campaign for Portuguese and Brazil.
@DerHexer Sorry to bother you, but did you created the banner? The banner on ptwiki is redirecting to Wikimedia Commons contest page, and that is detrimental to our campaign, as we have localized everything. Can you take a look into this, please? Thank you, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 17:28, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPorto (WMB): Well, for that reason we ask people to submit their campaign requests ten days in advance. ;D Sometimes we have full days and not enough time to work on such sensitive things like JavaScript/CSS-based campaigns which can cause lots of trouble. I've removed Brazil from the country campaign and created its own campaign and banner, as proposed. Please check the settings and take a look at the preview.

@DerHexer: similar comment as last year, I ask not do repetitive cycles of banners for countries that do not even participate.

@Camelia.boban: I've added the commons landing page for itwiki, but I wouldn't use the logo because it's in upright and not landscape format. It would be much too small in the current banner design.

Comment Just an idea, but maybe the WLF team can benefit from having someone with the appropriate user-rights on the team that handles the CN banners. Because all this kind of country- and language specific coordination could (imho: should) all have been done before a campaign goes live.

We'd like to continue the campaign from last year (request). The banner will only be running for two days before the first Wednesday of each month, and will be targeted to users with less than 100 edits. Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (talk) 08:24, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For normal requests, a central notice admin will close the discussion. In the areas of advocacy, the stewards team may be called upon to assess consensus.
