CentralNotice/Report an issue

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

To report an issue with a particular banner:

  • If you don't know the name of the banner, you can use Special:BannerAllocation to check what banners are currently running on a given site. or better: check value of mw.centralNotice.bannerData.bannerName in browser console.
    • on mobile it may be harder to access a browser console. you could use a w:bookmarklet like this: javascript:(function(){mw.notify(mw.centralNotice.bannerData && mw.centralNotice.bannerData.bannerName || "No banner loaded")})()
    • Nota bene: bookmarklets can run arbitrary javascript, don't run untrusted code! (this page is protected, you can see the edit history and protection level to give some level of trust for the bookmarklet above)
  • Create a Phabricator task tagged with #Wikimedia-CentralNotice-Administration, including the name of the banner
  • Contact the admin who created or last edited the banner (you can find a link to "View banner edit history" at the top of the banner details page e.g. Special:CentralNoticeBanners/edit/wikilovesfolklore2023)

To report a technical issue with the CentralNotice system itself, please create a Phabricator task tagged with #MediaWiki-extensions-CentralNotice
