@Paula (WDU): Please request it earlier (we recommend 10 days). Have you notified the local community that the campaign will be enabled for registered and unregistered users? Anyways, I've created the campaign and banner. Please check both and the preview. As soon as you approve it and the community was informed, I can enable the campaign. Please ping me, I will be busy at a Wiki conference on the weekend. Best, —DerHexer(Talk) 21:40, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@DerHexer: I apologize for my late request. I understand this is a job you do in your personal time, so if you can enable this banner 10 days after my request, I will totally understand.
Our community is already aware of the contest. We have sent the Meta page to our Telegram group and posted the news on our website. If you have any other questions regarding this, please let me know.
I approve of everything. Thank you very much and I hope you have fun at the Conference. Best, Paula (WDU) (talk) 22:06, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@DerHexer Thx for the clarification I was not sure that I should contact WMF as we will not use Qualtrics. I've just send them an email. Pyb en résidence (talk) 19:54, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm not sure either. But I'd say: better safe than sorry. :) Best, —DerHexer(Talk) 20:01, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think the WMF review would indeed be necessary in this case. The guidelines clearly say "Banners for fundraising and external surveys should be discussed at least 90 days and requires approval from Wikimedia Foundation in all instances. For these please contact Julia Brungs." (emphasis mine). Granted, this sentence is somewhat confusingly buried under the Fundraising headline; this should likely be clarified. Martin Urbanec (talk) 09:58, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hello! I'm responding on behalf of surveys@, thank you @DerHexer for suggesting the ping and @Pyb en résidence for messaging :)
Overall, I don't see major concerns with this survey from what I'm able to gather. Here are my suggestions:
Banner coverage:
a maximum of 1:10 display of the banner to get the amount of responses you seek (0.1 or 10%)
logged-in users only
only display to those in France
I checked in with @JBrungs (WMF) and there should not be any conflicts with the above for logged-in users on frwiki for October.
Questionnaire landing page:
Privacy:
It says that the results of the survey will be public. I would recommend linking to a page about privacy that describes what data you will collect (including whether you'll collect data like IP addresses), who will handle the data, how long you will keep the dataset, whether potentially private data will be removed, and whether it's the results of the data that will be shared or if you will actually make the dataset itself public. Likewise, it is good to name and link to any of the privacy policies of the survey tool you're using so that respondents can check that if they desire. Of note, it is your responsibility to comply with your country's and broader privacy laws, such as the GDPR, when managing your data.
Things that might help you, but you don't have to do if you do not wish:
Making it easy for respondents:
There are two versions of the survey linked on the page. Respondents might find that confusing and click on the wrong one.
Banner style:
The banner style makes it difficult to determine where the banner begins and ends, if that makes sense? I might not immediately understand that it's something to click. (EDIT: retracting this statement, it's apparently how all banners appear and there's not much we can do about it, but making the text obvious -- possibly a "click here to" -- should help :))
I would consider giving more details in the banner, like "Participate in a survey to help the Wikifying Science project learn more about knowledge of open access among editors". This tends to help people who think the survey is "not for them" to know that they should participate (presuming you want to know that some editors know nothing or very little about open access). You can of course choose how you write it, just a little detail tends to help people want to participate. -TAndic (WMF) (talk) 13:19, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Type of grant - On Wiki in Africa side, the campaign is funded by an annual grant. Some other groups are likely to use their annual support grant too. During the last year, a dozen of groups applied for a rapid grant to support that project and this is likely to be the same this year.
@DerHexer:@Martin Urbanec:@Vermont: - It is just to let you know that the request is made and the visual elements are all loaded. Please let me know if there is any adjustments to suit the central notice process. Thanks. --Afek91 (talk) 09:45, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Afek91: It's still a while to go but some remarks which will help the CentralNotice administrators to process your request:
Please add your campaign to the CentralNotice/Request page as instructed when you created the campaign. Otherwise CN admins could easily miss it.
I'm not sure that the very wide banner version will work on mobile. Maybe you can also create shorter versions, too. Furthermore, on smaller devices we have to use reduced file sizes so that photos could look pixelated. Let's check that later.
Not all CN admins (including myself) have the technical skills to create a white square where the logo would be embedded. Some texts in that part are not mentioned either. An HTML version of the banner provided by you would things much, much easier.
Global campaigns can only run for participating communities, ideally with local ambassadors, translatable banners and landing pages (I see that work has started on this). Additionally, I cannot remember a campaign that lasted three months, that's very long! We will have to choose a very low impression diet.
It seems to be a follow-up of a previous campaign. Can you add a link to the former request page? Thanks and best, —DerHexer(Talk) 12:33, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
DerHexer, seems probably easiest to make the gradient in css, make a three column element within it for the image overlay, first text block, and white-background second text block. No idea how that'll look on mobile, so maybe let's not do three. Or, we can do three, but have the white column only be the logo, with no additional text.
If we were to do that...I don't think we have just the image of the people anywhere. Afek91, before I ask you to upload the background-less image of the people, can you clarify the copyright status of those photographs? The banner mockup is uploaded to Commons as own work, with no indication of derivatives; did you take all four of those? Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 12:41, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The link for last year's request is here: CentralNotice/Request/SheSaid - a single colour as background would also be fine. We will provide the Wiki short link - thank you for your guidance. I will leave @Afek91 to answer the other design elements. Islahaddow (talk) 15:37, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Islahaddow, you don't need a short URL, just a landing page. People don't type in the url manually, they can just click on the banner. If you want statistics, the best we can do (I think) is send people to a redirect page, and presumably the only people who go to that redirect would be ones who clicked on the banner. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 19:50, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I added the request to the CentralNotice/Request and updated the banners on the request.
@DerHexer for sure I did not take the photos, I mentionned the files used in the description of the banners on Commons. Afek91 (talk) 15:38, 21 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Vermont: Can you proceed with this request? Your technical skills could be of help here. Best, —DerHexer(Talk) 16:31, 22 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Possibly. I'm quite busy for the next 4 weeks, but afterwards I should be able to process this.
Afek91, we can't do a 3-month campaign. Most are usually around 2 weeks, a month maximum. What 4 week time period works best for this campaign?
Additionally, we can't do this in all languages. We can use the list of participating communities, provided the people organizing them locally can provide a translation. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 21:45, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I would say, as the campaign starts on the 1st October, it would be better to start 2 weeks before and the 2 first weeks of the campaign. So from the 18th september to the 15th October. For the languages, I thought may be if we could reach new languages throught the central notice.
Afek91, I would recommend running it during the first 4 weeks of the campaign. We generally don't like to run banners for things that people cannot currently participate in. (with some exceptions, like sign-ups for limited capacity events, etc.) Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 17:40, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Afek91, sorry, I forgot to follow up. Thoughts on the above? Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 15:21, 19 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It works for me. I just would like to ask if we could try new languages as one of our goals is targetting more languages to join the campain.
Afek91, you can run it in more languages if a) the event is happening in those languages and b) you can get people to translate the banner text and event/landing page into those languages. The landing page is currently translated into nl, it, ko, and ja.
My current thought is...two campaigns, one for Wikiquote and one for Wikipedia. Both 4 weeks, but a much smaller % and impression limit for Wikipedia than Wikiquote. October 1st to 29th.
And...in terms of the banner, I don't think we can use the images of people on there. Not only will it look bad on mobile, but there's no way to provide sufficient attribution unless clicking the image will send readers to a place where that attribution info can be easily found. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 16:35, 24 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you. For the banner should we use the last year's one? For the languages, should I list here all of the participating languages? Afek91 (talk) 10:51, 29 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Afek91, are you sure these languages are accurate? The landing page is fully translated only into Japanese and French. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 17:16, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
And I just realized you never added this campaign to the calendar, which is a step in requesting a campaign. In the future, please read the guidelines before making a request. These steps are outlined on the request page. As an example, your initial request asked for a 3-month long banner campaign on all languages on Wikipedia and Wikiquote targetting all types of users...which, as we noted, was entirely infeasible, and is far out of scope of the usage guidelines.
And now, you've asked for the campaign to be run in 15 languages, only two of which are translated on your landing page. Those are not "participating languages", and I am not putting an English banner linking to an English page in front of thousands of people who do not speak English. This request, like your initial one, would not have been made if you had read the banner guidelines.
I want to clarify something: we are volunteers. CentralNotice is run by volunteers. We do not have a translator team, we do not have funding, we do this in our free time to help people who want to present their events/drives/etc. through CN banners. Our one ask is that you follow the clearly-designated steps to make this process functional. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 17:40, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Alright, an update: this request is on hold for now.
I took a look at the requested landing page, and it seems to be a review of what SheSaid is, not information about how to get involved. There is a "Get Involved" button...however, the target page's opening paragraphs do not describe how to get involved as an individual, and is only available in English. Clicking on the "participating communities" links, those seem to link to local landing pages for SheSaid in general, which themselves link to this year's event on the project. In short: the requested landing page is 3-4 clicks away from actually finding information about how to get involved in the event, there is insufficient indication about which links to click to get to those pages, and they are not available in the languages requested. Optimally, a landing page would explain to the reader what the event is, how they can participate, and what happens when they do so.
There are local landing pages a few clicks away from the main page on Meta for this year, however, those were not included in this request and I could only find 3. Afek91, please provide links to the landing pages on projects where there are local landing pages.
I've cloned the 2022 banner to make shesaid_2023, campaign shesaid_2023_wq. Considering this is Wikiquote-only, I think it would be best to only run this on Wikiquote.
Also, I'm not sure if I'll have the capacity to support this request further. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 18:55, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Agradeço pela tua notificação, eu não tinha notado a convergência das datas. De qualquer forma, porque os banners não podem rodar simultaneamente? Além disso, o nosso pedido é por um pequeno tempo, vocês não poderiam colocar o anúncio alguns dias para mais tarde, tendo em vista que ele está sugerido praticamente para o mês de outubro inteiro? Nesse caso, nós também jogaríamos o nosso para um pouco mais cedo. Acredito que este poderia ser um bom meio termo. O que você acha?
@Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+): Ter dois concursos começando no mesmo período, com dois banners simultâneos poderia criar certo conflito entre os participantes e atrapalhar as métricas de ambos. As datas do nosso concurso estão bem inflexíveis também: ele envolve parcerias com outras organizações (por isso que pedimos esse banner com 9 meses de antecedência) e falta apenas um mês para o início do evento. ALeoncio (WMB) (talk) 17:42, 30 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oi @ALeoncio (WMB): quando começa o evento de vocês? Não achei a página do evento no pedido do banner. O que estamos propondo, na verdade, é uma flexibilização de ambas as partes. Poderíamos, por exemplo, começar nosso banner uns dias antes: ao invés de começar no dia 01 de outubro, começar 28 de setembro. Por outro lado, o banner de vocês poderia começar uns dias depois de 2 de outubro, assim não teríamos essa sobreposição que você considera ruim. Abraço Flávia Varella (talk) 00:03, 31 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oi @Flávia Varella! Infelizmente eu não tenho como flexibilizar. Como disse mais acima, as datas do nosso concurso estão bastante rígidas (começa dia 2 de outubro) e o banner é essencial para nós. Eu poderia sugerir que mudassem as datas do seu concurso. Sendo dezembro, não haveria empecilho da nossa parte ou, caso prefiram novembro, podemos negociar as datas. ALeoncio (WMB) (talk) 14:54, 31 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@ALeoncio (WMB): Aí realmente fica difícil dialogar. A data do concurso não podemos mudar pois ele integra um evento maior o Mais Diversidade, mas como disse, podemos flexibilizar um pouco a data do nosso banner. O Wikiconcurso Mais Diversidade começa dia 1 de outubro, podemos flexibilizar o banner para 28 de setembro até 05 de outubro. O que acha? Abraços, Flávia Varella (talk) 13:50, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oi, @Flávia Varella e @Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+). Acho que há um problema aqui: eu comuniquei a vocês o calendário de atividades do Wiki Movimento Brasil no fim do ano passado e esse evento já estava lá, justamente para evitar situações desse tipo. Indicamos no início do ano, justamente para não haver problema, a realização desse evento no calendário de solicitações. Não conseguem de fato mudar a data, para não haver essa sobreposição? Joalpe (talk) 23:56, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Joalpe: Oi João! Sim, no calendário de vocês consta que teriam um Wikiconcurso começando dia 4 de outubro. Imagino que deva ser o mesmo que o @ALeoncio (WMB): pediu o banner. Nós mudamos a data do nosso evento anterior, o Mais Povos Originários, para não bater com o WikiLoves Pará, porém o Mais Diversidade não conseguimos, pois nosso grant termina em janeiro e temos que fazer toda a avaliação do evento e prestação de contas até lá.

@이강철 (WMKR): Thanks for the close look! I've changed the text size, time and projects. However, why do you want to use a SiteNotice in kowiki when you could handle the display way better through CentralNotice? With a SiteNotice, you will also notify my Commons me who just wants to add a photo but doesn't live anywhere close to South Korea to attend a conference (not to speak of the message I wouldn't understand either ;) ). For banner diet, we used to implement 3 or 5 displays per week. After some research, a more frequent display was considered to be more useful. I started with 2 displays per 2 days and increased that to 3 displays every other day. 5 times a day seems a lot to me. Do you think that this is needed? Would it make sense to start with the proposed amount, observe the number of registrations and only increase it when there are too few registrations? I'm not sure about the IP access through a public computer part; why would that make an effect on banner diet? Best, —DerHexer(Talk) 08:52, 25 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Traditionally, Korean Wikipedia pins event notices for 2 weeks and displays them at the top. Do not turn off Sitenotice. and Sitenotice of Korean Wikipedia can be announced by Korean Wikipedia administrator.
I will follow DerHexer's opinion regarding the Central Notice frequency.
I have looked that the review has been applied. I think Central Notice can now proceed. Thank you for your help with event announcements. 이강철 (WMKR) (talk) 03:17, 26 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@DerHexer I've checked the campaign and banner and it looks fine. Just one thing, could you please change the background color on the left side of the banner - in code:
Hi @DerHexer, In CentralNotice/Calendar is another banner request with campaign duration * 01.10.2023 → 28.10.2023. We would like to use this banner, that we used in July. Is it needed to make new request with the same banner or can I ask here? Richard Sekerak (WMCZ) (talk) 17:27, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Richard Sekerak (WMCZ): The same campaign can be used. Please change the dates, landing page links, etc. to the new place. Best, —DerHexer(Talk) 17:29, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@DerHexer: I've changed the background color in the banner and changed the dates. This is a promotion for a contest that runs for several months, so other details, including links, remain the same.
OK, so having a rule #wlm-de .wlm-cta { position: relative; background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #FFF; width: 20em; padding-right: 1.5em; } was explicitly requested and not a bug, right? Just checking… --Mormegil(cs) 14:43, 1 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Mormegil It's not correct. I've requested (in july):
Before my re-request in september I've fixed this in the code (as I've mentioned in the comment). Please change { position: relative; background-color: #990000; color: #FFF; width: 20em; padding-right: 1.5em; } Richard Sekerak (WMCZ) (talk) 09:37, 2 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Richard Sekerak (WMCZ): I'm a little bit confused. Can you change the source code above so that I can simply copy and paste it? I can immediately change it when you ping me. Thanks, —DerHexer(Talk) 13:11, 2 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@958s and New York-air: Bitte anpingen, wenn ihr hier was ändert und ein neues Banner benötigt, da dies sonst auf CNR nicht erkennbar ist. Es gibt jetzt die Juli-Kampagne, das Banner wurde angepasst. Bitte überprüfen und dann dies und die Vorschau freigeben. Mit Ping bitte. ;) Grüße, —DerHexer(Talk) 14:30, 12 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@New York-air: Wir haben leider übersehen, dass der Link noch auf die alte Projektseite ging. Ich habe dies nun noch geändert, aber naja, ist vielleicht etwas kurzfristig. Martin Rulsch (WMDE) (talk) 10:32, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@New York-air: Pings funktionieren nur mit Signatur dahinter. ;) Aber meine Kollegin Janna hat mich über die Aktualisierung informiert. Ich habe die Kampagne auf den 14. bis 18.8. gesetzt und das Banner angepasst. Bitte beides sowie die Vorschau gut überprüfen, die Kampagne ist aber weiter aktiviert. Die Links oben sind noch gültig.

@A. Wagner: Nach meinem Urlaub habe ich nun diese Antragsseite, die Kampagne und das Banner angelegt. Bitte überprüfe, ob ich alles korrekt übertragen habe. So sieht die Vorschau aus. Sobald ich das OK habe, kann ich Kampagne aktivieren. Grüße, —DerHexer(Talk) 12:12, 5 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @Philip Kopetzky: and @Christian Philipp (WMAT):,
Am I seeing correct that we can reuse last years banner for this, just with an altered text? Ciell (talk) 09:28, 27 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nevermind, I now notice you are requesting to have a different banner every second week and also have new banners designed. I'm going to leave this one for another admin, @DerHexer maybe? Ciell (talk) 09:59, 27 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Ciell Sorry for the mixup, I wasn't aware that this could actually be mentioned in the application. I thought this was a more official process where it would also be helpful to have more than just one person dealing with the request? Will do that next time though, considering this campaign occurss every year. BR, Philip Kopetzky (talk) 21:54, 29 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Philip Kopetzky and Christian Philipp (WMAT): I've created campaign and first two banners: ICH and general; ICH is attached to the current campaign. Please check these and the ICH preview. If you do so on mobile with the mobile version, you will notice that the text is much too long. I recommend to use a shorter version for mobile. I can clone the desktop version. Please ping me. Best, —DerHexer(Talk) 21:06, 28 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@DerHexer Thank you! Is there a way to check the banner before it's live? In the second version of ICH on the example page the picture is overlapping with the border on the left. BR, Philip Kopetzky (talk) 21:52, 29 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Philip Kopetzky: Soll jetzt gewechselt werden? Bitte von eurer Seite aus anpingen. Ich mache mir keine Erinnerungen im Kalender. ;) —DerHexer(Talk) 21:58, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Christian Philipp (WMAT): Erstmal muss ich es natürlich erstellen. ;) Passt es so? Bitte per Ping bestätigen, dann stelle ich es um. —DerHexer(Talk) 09:45, 18 September 2023 (UTC) PS: Eine Benutzerseite im Metawiki ist nicht so cool? :)Reply[reply]
Erledigt. Der Ort der Unterseite ist mir eigentlich egal. ;) Ich meinte deine rote Farbe hier! —DerHexer(Talk) 17:44, 19 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Christian Philipp (WMAT): Wer hat oben nochmal „passt“ geschrieben? :P Ist korrigiert. Das Format auf AleXXws Seite ist leider so, dass ich das Banner neu in HTML und CSS anpassen muss. Ich kann es nicht einfach kopieren und einfügen. Wenn es eher mit Parametern wäre (Farbe: XY, Randstärke: 123, Link: https, Text: ABC), könnten Sachen nicht so leicht übersehen werden. Grüße, —DerHexer(Talk) 19:51, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@DerHexer: mein hüstel hat sich direkt auf mein passt bezogen :-( tut leid. Hast du ein konkretes Beispiel, wie so ein Bannerdesign auszusehen hat, damit es für dich c/p ist? Ich dachte, der html-code davor tut es (wenn die links alle richtig sind)? lg --Christian Philipp (WMAT) (talk) 12:44, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Bspw. so oder so machen das die meisten Anfragenden. Andere fragen es aber auch so wie ihr an und ich bastele dann. Da wird aber üblicherweise nur ein Banner gebastelt und nicht mehrere. Ähnlichen Kuddelmuddel gibt's eher, wenn es bei mehreren Ausspielungen, Anpassungen im Banner usw. gibt (bspw. hier, siehe die Kommentare).

Description - To get more attendees for our monthly online "kickstart" meetups for new contributors.
Metrics - Number of attendees
What banner(s) will you use? What will be your landing page?[edit]
Banners - English (en): Do you need help with anything on Wikipedia? Get an online kickstart course this Wednesday from 19:00
Norwegian Bokmål (nb): Er det noe du trenger hjelp med på Wikipedia? Bli med på digital starthjelp onsdag kl. 19:00
Norwegian Nynorsk (nn): Treng du hjelp med noko på Wikipedia? Bli med på digital starthjelp onsdag kl. 19:00
The duration here may seem overly long, but what I'd like to do is to only show the banner two days before our kickstarter meetup every month. The meetups are on the first Wednesday of each month, so I'd like to show the banners (at 100 % if possible) only for that Tuesday and Wednesday (ending at 20:00 Norwegian time when the meetup is concluded). Is that possible? Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (talk) 16:48, 18 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Jon Harald Søby (WMNO): Sadly not. I could set a local storage item that could be reset once per month, however, this can only be connected to the first display of the banner for each user separately. It cannot be related to a specific date. I fear that we have to change the dates once per month. But that wouldn't be a problem, it will just take few seconds. Can you add the dates when it's supposed to run to the request? And ping me early enough before each display? I can create the campaign and banner. Best, —DerHexer(Talk) 18:01, 31 May 2023 (UTC) PS: “All (for those two Wikipedias)”, I see three Wikipedias in the request. ;)Reply[reply]
@DerHexer: Thanks! I think the approach of setting up one campaign per time is best.
If possible, it would be nice to have a banner for the upcoming event on Wednesday June 7. We can just do a simple standard banner for this run at least.
Runtime: Tuesday June 6, 00:00 UTC to Wednesday June 7, 15:30 UTC
Requests must be made, at minimum, 10 days in advance of any campaign
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.
ist gebläut. @DerHexer:, hüstel, der link beim aktuellen Banner ist falsch, sollte https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_%C3%96sterreich/Tagdesdenkmals_2023 sein. bist du so lieb und fixst das. lg --Christian Philipp (WMAT) (talk) 18:00, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
