Description - Wiki Loves Sport is a campaign ideated and organized by WikiDonne User Group since 2019 as part of WikiDonne Roadmap selected as one of the 11 individual or affiliate's projects granted by WMF in 2018.

The eighth edition of Wiki Loves Sport is organized to improve and extend content related to diversity in sport in the Wikimedia projects in general, and for the events it covers in particular. Given the gaps which is our topic of interest, the campaign is mainly focused on content concerning missing or underrepresented groups (women and para athelets), but as Wikimedians, we appreciate any sports-related content that logged in users want to add in any language of the Wikimedia projects (Wikipedia, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikidata, Commons).

  • My reading of the consensus at the enwiki Village Pump is to allow the tamest version of the banner, without a reference to WWU in image or text. I've asked for the organisers in the other languages to open discussions in their local village pumps to see if there are any objections. I'm not sure how useful it is for Commons or Wikidata to have these banners, so not pinged those organisers. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:31, 11 August 2026 (UTC)reply
    Hi @Femke, just feel free to collect the links here, once we've designed the banner and campaign, it will be relatively easy to add additional projects or languages. Please ask the local organizers to translate the banner text, so we can use the translations in the campaign. To activate the translation tags in your landing page, you may want to add a request to Meta talk:Babylon. Ciell (talk) 06:26, 12 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Hi @Fritzober: Here is the banner (preview) and part of the campaign setup. Before I finish setting up the campaign, could you please clarify the exact dates? The request first mentions 1 November through 15 November, but later says 8 November through 22 November. Which date range should I use? Once confirmed, I can complete the campaign setup. Best, --Soylacarli (talk) 20:29, 14 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Hi Soylacarli: Thanks for your message. On DerHexer's recommendation, the period during which the banner is to be displayed should be split into two weeks. The weeks of November 1–8 and November 15–22 would be suitable. The competition runs from November 1 to November 30 (corrections are possible until December 1 at 23:59). Thanks for your efforts.

Note that this banner is to appear only on w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Latino and Hispanic heritage articles, using the new PageAssessments capability of phab:T374761.

Servus! Should "Regensburg" fall off the banner as on the preview or shall it fit?  « Saper // talk »  10:30, 2 July 2026 (UTC)reply

I'm not sure what you mean. Nothing falls of the banner in the proposed design in this page for me. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 23:02, 3 July 2026 (UTC)reply
Will try to upload a screenshot once I can. On various systems I am using "Regensburg 2026" is at the bottom of a banner and gets cut off.  « Saper // talk »  23:08, 5 July 2026 (UTC)reply
 this is how the "Regensburg" text gets truncated at the bottom. Maybe this is a limitation of the CSS we have here?  « Saper // talk »  00:08, 7 July 2026 (UTC)reply
Alright, but since we cannot copy the wiki markup anyway and have to rebuild the banner in HTML and CSS, it should be fine if it is displayed there correctly. — Am I right in assuming that you want to help out with creating that banner here? I can also handle it, no problem. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 15:39, 8 July 2026 (UTC)reply

@Richard Sekerak (WMCZ): Hi! Here's the campaign and the banner (preview). One thing I noticed is that the banner doesn't have a dark mode alternative, so it doesn't display very well when dark mode is enabled.

hi @Soylacarli. With a bit of AI help I edited the banner and created a dark mode version. I tested it on html preview pages and it seems to work. Can you take a look and check whether it's displaying correctly on Wiki pages? Regards
Otherwise campaign and banner looks fine to me. Richard Sekerak (WMCZ) (talk) 18:37, 11 August 2026 (UTC)reply
@Richard Sekerak (WMCZ): Hi! I wasn’t able to preview the version you shared in the CentralNotice banner editor, as the code I had seemed to contain the CSS rules but not the complete HTML structure, so nothing was rendered in the preview :(. I adapted the existing code into this version (preview), which works in both light and dark mode. It uses a slightly different responsive layout, but keeps the same image and message. Could you take a look and let me know whether this works for you, or whether you would prefer that we continue adapting the original version? Best, Soylacarli (talk) 20:20, 14 August 2026 (UTC)reply
@Soylacarli sorry, my bad. I've tried to update the dark mode switch into the HTML code structure. Can you check if it works now? Regards. Richard Sekerak (WMCZ) (talk) 13:45, 16 August 2026 (UTC)reply

If this could be started soonest it would be best. I only specified the 15th August date because it is two weeks from today.

Also, it is important to link to [:w:en:Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle#Seattle Wiknic 2026|Seattle Wiknic]] rather than the event page itself. I know this is convoluted, but this has to do with some issues two years ago with Seattle Parks & Recreation who do not want events in their parks advertised.

As I am an enwiki admin, I already have a geonotice banner going on enwiki. Peaceray (talk) 20:59, 1 August 2026 (UTC)reply

[edit]

@Peaceray: Hi! Here's the campaign and the banner (preview). Right now, the banner uses the standard image, but just so you know, we can replace it with an image related to the event if you have one (maybe a logo?). Otherwise, I can also remove the image entirely and leave just the text. Also, please click on the banner in the preview to double-check that it points to the correct landing page. I understood that the intended link was the other one provided in the request, rather than the page in the Event namespace.

A couple of other things I wanted to double-check: you're targeting Wikidata, Commons, and Meta, but not Wikipedia, correct? Finally, I would prefer to target only logged-in users due to security concerns. Is the goal of the event to reach new participants, or is it mainly intended for Wikimedians in Seattle? That would help determine whether targeting readers is actually necessary. Ping me with your thoughts on these and we can adjust everything accordingly :). Best,--Soylacarli (talk) 16:44, 8 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Hi, Soylacarli. We tend to use File:Wiknic logo.svg & File:Cascadiawikimedians transparent Gill Sans 155px high.png. See w:en:User_talk:Peaceray#Seattle Wiknic 2026. Ignore the "precious" image that hangs down from the previous post.
Yes, I have set up the banner for enwiki.
We are aiming for both registered & unregistered users. Two years ago we got a crop or previously unregistered users. I know of the security concerns (I was in the third row when the incident occurred at WCNA 2025) but locally this has never presented problems.
I am at a camp/conference * due at the next session in two minutes, so I will review if I missed anything in a couple of hours. Peaceray (talk) 16:59, 8 August 2026 (UTC)reply
Hi Soylacarli! Yes the campaign & preview (with the images) look good. Peaceray (talk) 20:46, 8 August 2026 (UTC)reply

    Done as recommended. Thank you, DerHexer. Agbalagba (YWUG) T★C 11:24, 4 July 2026 (UTC)reply
  • @Agbalagba: I have created the campaign and banner (preview). However, there are still a few things to do before the campaign can be enabled:
    • Please provide a translation of the banner text into Yoruba as this needed because you also target Yoruba Wikipedia.
    • The landing page should ideally be translated into Yoruba, too. I can understand that marking them for translation might be a bit tricky. Two solutions come to my mind: Create another page in Yoruba that I can link in a banner, or add a summary in Yoruba to your English landing page so that native speakers also understand the process.
    • The logo has a white background that should be transparent. For that reason I changed the background from light grey into white. But that does only work in light mode, not dark mode. A dark mode solution should be found (I prefer the transparent logo, but there are other solutions like a second logo that I could show whenever dark mode is used).
    As soon as everything is implemented, please check it, approve it and ping me so that I can enable the campaign. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 15:36, 8 July 2026 (UTC)reply
Hi DerHexer, See the translation of the banner texts in Yoruba language. See also the landing page in Yoruba. See the logo in transparent background. Thank you for your help. Agbalagba (YWUG) T★C 15:59, 20 July 2026 (UTC)reply
Thanks, I have added the translation in Yoruba and adjusted the banner links. The logo doesn't seem to be fully transparent so that I kept the white background because it looks better to me. In the end, I have activated the campaign. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 14:00, 26 July 2026 (UTC)reply

Description -

Annie Rauwerda is a Wikipedian and comedian who hosts the Depths of Wikipedia social media accounts, as well as the Wikipedia-themed comedy show by the same name. The Depths of Wikipedia show is heading to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the month of August. There's also an adjacent rapid grant project to do a public engagement campaign around the show to attract new contributors.

The purpose of this CentralNotice campaign is to give comp ticketes to active editors on English Wikipedia for the Depths of Wikipedia show at 2026 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as a way to recognize editors for the contributions, and to promote mingling and networking between experienced editors and the general audience. The venue reserves a set number of comp tickets and we have negotiated that up a bit. Depths of Wikipedia has been geeorus with comp tickets for active Wikipedia editors during her tour shows.

Metrics -

  • Total number of editors who sign up for tickets.
  •  Total number of editors who actually show up and claim the tickets.
The current goal is to run the campaign for active editors in the United Kingdom, who can realistically make a trip to Edinburg to see the show (hundreds of thousands do each year).

What banner(s) will you use? What will be your landing page?

[edit]
Banners - Standard banner with Depths of Wikipedia logo. Proposed text: "Join us for the Depths of Wikipedia show at Edinburgh Fringe Festival during August! Complementary tickets for active Wikimedia editors. Sign up online."

Landing Page - WikiHaus/Edinburgh Fringe 2026 Depths of Wikipedia Tickets
[edit]
Type of grant -

This WikiHaus effort is indirectly grant funded, not for the comp tickets to editors, but the public engagment for new editors who attend the show organically is.

Hi all, @Ciell:, @Darafsh:, @DerHexer:, @Johannnes89:, @Nokib Sarkar:, @Saper:, @Soylacarli:, @Yahya:

Could you please adjust the CentralNotice campaign so that it ends on August 16?

Due to the issue with the banner, Brazil has decided to extend the submission period for WLE BR 2026.

I have already updated the dates in the Wiki Loves tool and the participate countries at Commons, but I don't have the permissions to edit the CentralNotice.

I've tried contacting @Romaine:, but they seems to be on a wikibreak, I'm not sure.

@Johannnes89, update for June is done. Please note that I have changed the duration to two weeks and limited the regions. Sorry for the short period leading up to the start, but it's not that serious if you can't make it until tomorrow. –MrBenjo (talk) 16:31, 2 June 2026 (UTC)reply

@MrBenjo updated, please check the links below to make sure everything is correct. Johannnes89 (talk) 18:05, 2 June 2026 (UTC)reply
Thanks for your quick response. As far as I can see, you didn't change the region to NRW and Hesse. Would be great if you could adapt this. –MrBenjo (talk) 18:52, 2 June 2026 (UTC)reply
Did so. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 15:37, 3 June 2026 (UTC)reply
Changed back to whole country because of a lack of registrations reported by the organizers. —DerHexer (Talk) 14:44, 10 June 2026 (UTC)reply

@Johannnes89/DerHexer, updated for July. Thanks –MrBenjo (talk) 09:25, 3 July 2026 (UTC)reply

I will implement the banner later this week. --Johannnes89 (talk) 15:51, 30 March 2026 (UTC)reply

Campaign [6], banner [7], preview link [8] (should only display a banner while you're in Tübingen and either logged-out or logged-in but less than 50 edits).
@DarkGreenAndSunny there are some issues:
  • The text is way too long (try looking at the banner at a smaller screen...)
    • How about just using the first question?
    • Ideally the second sentence would be shorter as well, e.g. removing "wieder"?
  • While looking at the landing page I noticed that the option to register is only available to logged-in users – as is the second option (Wikimail).
    • How about providing an email address for logged-out users who don't want to register prior to the event?
    • Linking Spezial:E-Mail senden/DarkGreenAndSunny somewhere (currently "per [[Hilfe:Wiki-Mail|Wiki-Mail]] an [[Benutzerin:DarkGreenAndSunny|DarkGreenAndSunny]]") might also be helpful for logged-in users...
Johannnes89 (talk) 11:09, 3 April 2026 (UTC)reply
Thanks for implementing our request!
  • We'll shorten the text, you are right, its way too long to work on different screens
(* What do you think of the suggestion
"Wolltest du schon immer wissen, wie die Wikipedia funktioniert?
Für alle Queers und Frauen kommenden Dienstag in Tübingen: Offenes Treffen" @Alpenhexe)
  • We are working on the e-mail address solution, yes! We are currently having the problem that we ourselves are not able to change the necessary settings of our mailing-list for non-subscribers to be able to contact us. But that was the idea and we're on it.
  • Should we not be able to provide the mailinglist solution, I'll think about your last idea, thanks!

@Johannnes89, we agreed on the new text "Wolltest du schon immer wissen, wie die Wikipedia funktioniert?
Für alle Queers und Frauen kommenden Dienstag in Tübingen: Offenes Treffen", would you please update the displayed text for us? Thanks! DarkGreenAndSunny (talk) 12:59, 14 April 2026 (UTC)reply
Danke für die Rückmeldung! Ich würde überlegen, trotzdem die Uhrzeit zu nennen, ist in meinen Augen dann auch noch kurz genug. Habs erstmal wie gewünscht geupdated [9] (Vorschau [10]). Wenn du magst, können wir auch Samstag in Stuttgart nochmal übers Banner reden. Johannnes89 (talk) 18:29, 14 April 2026 (UTC)reply
Also"Wolltest du schon immer wissen, wie die Wikipedia funktioniert?
Für alle Queers und Frauen kommenden Dienstag 18 Uhr in Tübingen: Offenes Treffen". Das wäre in der Tat deutlich informativer und nur wenige Zeichen länger, gerne auch so.

Thanks for creating the banner @Martin Rulsch (WMDE), the new geo-location script looks very interesting. The banner does not work in dark mode for me, and I notice there's a lot of text in the notice, and would advise (non-binding) to shorten the invitation to join the event. Ciell (talk) 07:56, 27 February 2026 (UTC)reply

Together, we fixed the darkmode. Ciell has approved and enabled the campaign afterwards. Best, Martin Rulsch (WMDE) (talk) 13:17, 27 February 2026 (UTC)reply

Because of low registration numbers, we have added two more federal states and extended the duration of the campaign by three days. Best, Martin Rulsch (WMDE) (talk) 09:20, 5 March 2026 (UTC)reply

April dates and federal states added, banner text slightly changed and geolocation removed. The rest stays the same. Best, Martin Rulsch (WMDE) (talk) 11:16, 17 March 2026 (UTC)reply
