Description - The banner is to promote the Wiki Loves Africa photo and media campaign. In 2026, the theme is Rites & Rituals. It is a call for participation. It is pretty much unchanged compared to previous years. The contest is open for 2 months (by popular support). We run the banner only in Africa (though the contest is open everywhere). Every year, 80%+ 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 25), 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...).
For country coverage please review previous coverage for previouis campaigns 2024 and 2025.

For the Photo Competition, our strategy is to target by country, with each banner appearing in the primary language(s) of that specific nation. This localized approach aims to better support the specific needs of each participating community.
For Landing Page You can find the list of participating countries and their respective landing pages here: Participating countries.
For banner Translations: We have prepared the English version of the banner. So I think we need you to activate the banner page so we can begin localizing it to other languages.
For banners code, I only used HTML and CSS (wikitext for links only). and I made sure that it appears good for mobile and computer.
I would prefer collecting the feedback and discussion on just one page, and will follow the link mentioned above by DerHexer (since that is where the most extensive feedback is already).. Ciell (talk) 12:32, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Bonnjalal00: I have quite a flashback on all the problems we had last year with CentralNotice/Request/Wiki Loves Ramadan 2025. In particular, the wiki markup banner proposal while the CentralNotice/Usage guidelines are pretty clear of what we can process. Furthermore, it is unclear which languages you target that have been notified and involved in advance (as of now, English only). I do appreciate the focus on specific countries with local support. — Nonetheless, banner texts and landing pages should be available in the main languages your projects targets. Please provide them as soon as possible. // CC @Ciell and ZI Jony: Best, —DerHexer(Talk)17:38, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@DerHexer: Regarding the Writing Competition, we have opted for a language-based targeting strategy rather than a country-specific one. The goal is to reach all relevant countries using unified banners for each major language (for example, a single Arabic banner targeting all Arabic-speaking countries, and a French banner for French-speaking regions).
For Landing Page, The landing pages and participating communities for this track are documented here: Participating communities.
For banner Translations, The English version is ready for review. Once the translation infrastructure is created for us, we will promptly mobilize our contributors to provide the necessary localized versions for all targeted languages.
For banners code, I only used HTML and CSS (wikitext for links only). and I made sure that it appears good for mobile and computer.
Don't you think that the 2 banners you are requesting to run at the same time about the same topic on all project is a bit much....? Keep in mind, we only have one banner space and in March, among others, we also have Wiki Loves Folklore. Wiki Loves Africa and a (for limited time) Gendergap banner running. (check the calendar!)
It would help me if you could be more specific about your targeting: is it really necessary to run the photo competition banner on all projects for instance, and the article writing one also on all projects, *at the same time*? And are all the communities of these projects and languages aware of your proposed Ramadan CN-campaigns @ZI Jony?
@Ciell: Thanks for the feedback. I have tried to limit the scope of this request to be as respectful of the banner space as possible:
I have limited the projects to only four. Specifically, the photo competition will only be shown in few countries and only in few languages. I have also limited the number of languages and projects for the writing competition.
For scheduling The two banners are set for different dates and will not run for long periods.
Also the local organizers have already started providing translations. You can see their progress here:
@ZI Jony: last year, there was a limited result in Wikipedia articles, but moreover you only collected 141 new files for Commons from the whole campaign. So you might understand why I am a bit concerned whether the language communities are truly onboard with the campaign.
Can you please inform the communities in their local Village Pumps and make sure they agree to the effort and it's worth running the CN banner? Please share the links to these discussions here, especially because there are other big campaigns running at the same time, and we only have one banner space.
Dear @DerHexer and Ciell:, Apologies for the late reply. I have been quite busy recently, and today I am traveling a long distance.
Thank you for raising your concerns. We understand that there are other major campaigns running during this period. However, as you know, the timing of Ramadan changes every year according to the lunar calendar. Because of that, our campaign dates also shift annually. At the moment, this is still a relatively small campaign, but we are working step by step to improve and expand it each year.
Regarding community discussions, due to time constraints, we are unfortunately unable to open discussions at every Village Pump. Instead, we are requesting the banner to be shown only for communities that have signed up and expressed interest in participating in Wiki Loves Ramadan 2026. For Wikimedia Commons, the banner will be limited to the participating countries only.
For the writing competition translations, we can follow the same method used previously (WLR2025 banner translation workflow via Special:Translate), which allows translations to be handled through the CentralNotice translation system. This approach reduces the workload for CN admins and enables communities to translate directly.
In addition, we already have prepared translations available here:
UAE is not listed as a participating country for Wiki Loves Folklore 2026, but the CentralNotice banner is currently being displayed there. As a result, the national organizer has raised a concern, asking why users in the UAE are seeing the Wiki Loves Folklore banner instead of the one for Wiki Loves Ramadan.
I would like to kindly request that the Wiki Loves Ramadan 2026 banner be made visible to users in the United Arab Emirates. Displaying the banner in the UAE will help increase awareness and participation among the local community and other contributors interested in documenting Ramadan-related knowledge and culture.
Your support in enabling the banner targeting UAE will be greatly appreciated and will contribute to the success of the campaign under the broader mission of the Wikimedia Foundation. Akbarali (talk) 04:11, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Per our Usage guidelines, campaigns should usally run for two weeks. As this is a returning campaign and you will likely notify targeted communities before the start, we can likely make an exception here. Did you consider not to target all registered users but maybe only those with a minimum number of edits or registration date? Best, —DerHexer(Talk)19:30, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @DerHexer, yes, we actually wanted to target a specific subset of users. We'd have preferred to show only on selected namespace, but it seems it's impossible, so maybe only users with 500+ edits would be great. Two weeks for running is acceptable for us, and I guess it will be a recurring campaign if this one will be successful. Thank you for your help, this is the first time that I ask for a CentralNotice, so please forgive my mistakes if there are any. Also, I think it would be great to translate the message: how can I do it? Does it work like MassMessages or translations should happen through the interface? Sannita (WMF) (talk) 16:14, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Sannita (WMF): Both is possible. Each page sends a wgNamespaceNumber that a JavaScript within the banner source code can request (see my explanation in this slide on MW configuration variables; the text about magic words is wrong, though). Limiting the display to users with local 500+ edits can additionally be set. — Translations can be prepared anywhere, but they have to be submitted through the translation extension (and approved by a CN translation admin); see my slides here and following pages. — Per the usage guidelines, campaigns and banners should be created by WMF or affiliate staff and only be approved by volunteer admins. Am I right in understanding that you ask volunteer CN admin to help with this campaign? I will check, but I can probably help here. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)16:23, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@DerHexer Thanks for the info, I'll review them on Monday. Any kind of help for this first campaign would be very welcomed, so yes, I'm asking for a bit of help. In the meantime, I'll start requesting translations for our message. Sannita (WMF) (talk) 16:34, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this nice campaign. I personally suggest to avoid "Click here". I agree with this essay: [2]
I also think that people click more on banner if the banner has less text (but that's just a personal hypothesis). If you agree, consider completely omitting the the "click here to see what you can do". Just a personal opinion. Thanks again! nice banner ValerioBozz (talk) 17:08, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I've been reading up on the problems with "click here" recently (because the same feedback had been shared on another banner I was working on), and I already included information on our local page about accessibility and Wikipedia. For our local 8 March landing page I was able to resolve it by adding code around the "click here" that does work for screen readers, because I still sometimes struggle to think of the right alternatives. Can you help me by proposing how to rephrase the call to action in the banner? Ciell (talk) 09:18, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
(Fyi, this banner already has translations in 50 languages, and I am not sure if simply removing the third sentence or rephrasing will work in all of them. But with your ideas and input here, maybe next year we can do better!) Ciell (talk) 09:35, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
> Can you help me by proposing how to rephrase the call to action in the banner?
Sure Ciell. I was just proposing to omit the final phrase: «click here to see what you can do» since the banner is already self-standing and well-designed and every part of it can be clicked. Just that edit seems sufficient to me, for the "less is more" bonus point. Again, nice banner thanks ValerioBozz (talk) 09:39, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, from:
Help close the gender gap on Wikimedia this March: click here to see what you can do.
To:
Help close the gender gap on Wikimedia this March.
It's an interesting proposal, thanks! I think communication courses teach you to also answer the 'how?' question in a call to action message, this is why banners sometimes get to elaborate. I agree that less is more, and am a fan of simplicity in banners. The more text, the more distractions, the less you will pay attention to the message in the banner.

Hello, @DerHexer can you point me to how to test with dark mode? I did via Preferences>Gadget>Dark mode, and to me it changes white to black, and the red to a muted red. Maybe I can create a css workaround if that's the case, but I was unable to reproduce the problem.
About the PS, this is the symbol of the flag of Minas Gerais, and I'm quite confident that Brazilians will readily recognize it in that context. It's a well-known historical emblem here --attatched to the 1789 unsuccessful separatist movement called Inconfidência Mineira--, so the association tends to be very clear. I completely understand your point, though — context really does make all the difference! Cheers, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 14:14, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Here on the right (maybe you have to uncollapse it at the top) there is a section "Color (beta)" which easily allows you to change between dark and standard mode. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)14:29, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Manuela Alves de Souza (Projeto Mais+): I know you just submitted this request, and it’s scheduled a few months in advance, but just to make sure the request is complete:
Do you need a standard banner? That field is currently empty. You can simply choose an image and a short text, and I can create a standard banner for you.
The landing page link doesn’t seem to be working. Could you please check it? If the page isn’t ready yet, you could create it with the basic information so we can work with the URL.
The banner is currently requested for a bit longer than two weeks. In that case, you would need to inform the targeted communities about the banner (for example a short message on the relevant Wikipedia community pages is fine). Alternatively, I can shorten the dates so the campaign fits within the two-week limit set by the guidelines.
Thank you for your message and for pointing these out.
I’m currently working with my board on the remaining adjustments and gathering the missing information. The issue with the landing page link and the banner has already been resolved. As soon as everything else is finalized, including the other details, I will get back to you with the full update.

La primera es que los banners se piden con 2 semanas de anticipación (se pueden hacer excepciones obviamente, pero se los comento para la próxima). Lo otro es que no podemos poner imágenes como banner, estos tienen que estar hechos en html/css. Lo que puedo hacer es conservar el texto y agregar 2 logos (ustedes eligen cuales, pueden ser algunos de barba o de la campaña misma). Por último, si quieren que el banner esté todo el mes deben anunciarlo en el café, si no el banner puede estar máximo 2 semanas andando. Avísenme que prefieren, yo estoy atenta a este pedido :).

@Samat: Hello and thank you for submitting the request. Please apply the following changes in accordance with CentralNotice/Usage guidelines:
A banner can be displayed for a maximum of 14 days. Therefore, your proposed timeframe (10th February 2026 → 20th May 2026) is not feasible.
The landing page and the banner are not available. Please add a landing page and a banner in line with the guidelines.
To display the banner on the English and Hungarian Wikipedias, local consensus is required. If consensus for displaying the banner has already been obtained, please add a link to it.
Furthermore, fundraising and tax campaigns need to be approved by WMF. Therefore @JBrungs (WMF):, can you please confirm the request? :) (If you confirm longer campaigns than 14 days, we can make exceptions from the standard duration time; a local announcement would be helpful in any case.) —DerHexer(Talk)11:23, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @Darafsh:, dear @DerHexer:, thank you for your comments and instructions. I felt that it would not be good to leave the request half-finished, but I thought I could finalize it on Sunday. Unfortunately, due to other work commitments, I have only just been able to return here. Below, I will attempt to clarify the issues raised above.
According to the agreement signed with the Foundation, a maximum 60-day banner campaign is allowed within the four-month campaign period. The total number of days for the planned active campaigns (see the Central Notice Settings box above) is 45, which has been agreed with the Foundation.
The campaign(s) include an impression diet setting to minimise distraction (a maximum of three impressions every three days).
I created the banners and linked them with the landing page as requested.
I informed the Hungarian Wikipedia community about the planned campaign (the campaign is geotargeted to Hungary).
Yes, sure. As soon as we get the confirmation from Julia, it's almost ready to go. — I have checked it in dark mode and the white background is very bright. It might make sense to fix it. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)21:26, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @DerHexer, thank you for your comment about the background color, I agree with you. I changed the background to #ECECEC, which works acceptably on both interfaces. Next, I will learn how to specify different background colors (I looked at the Wiki Loves Folklore banner, where this works nicely). Best, Samat (talk) 15:12, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Description - This notice will inform potential attendees located in Australia of the opportunity to attend the WikiCon Australia 2026 conference in Canberra. Target users are logged-in users in Australia.
@AlphaLemur:, hi! Here’s the campaign and the banner (preview). I’ve also added Wikiquote, Wikivoyage, and Wiktionary, since it looks like there are active editors in Australia who could benefit from this as well :-). Let me know if you’d like any changes — otherwise, I can go ahead and enable the campaign. Best, --Soylacarli (talk) 18:16, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Soylacarli, this is great. Thanks for including the other projects as well. We hope to see as many Australian WIkimedians as possible at the event. I am hapy to proceed :) AlphaLemur (talk) 12:20, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@AlphaLemur: When I was reading the request, it came to my mind that targeting Aboriginal language Wikipedias, too, so that you get an even broader audience at the conference. But when I look at the enwiki article about Australian Aboriginal languages, it seems that they haven't yet left the Incubator. — But maybe this can still be a topic of your WikiCon! Good luck for the organization. :) Best, —DerHexer(Talk)11:14, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @DerHexer, great idea though - we had some of the people who worked on the Noongarpedia incubator as guest speakers at our last WikiCon. We hope to see these projects continue! AlphaLemur (talk) 23:38, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

What is the purpose of the campaign? How will you measure the success of the campaign?
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.

What banner(s) will you use? What will be your landing page?
Hi @Joris Darlington Quarshie! I was looking at last year’s request and noticed that we ended up with several different setups: country-specific campaigns, non-country campaigns, anon-only campaigns, and some additional country-specific requests. Will it be the same this year? I see that the country-specific campaign you created looks good. I’m just asking to understand whether we should expect multiple campaigns under this request. If this hasn’t been communicated yet to the organizers in other countries, could you please let them know? That way, we can avoid having to remove countries from this banner later when their specific campaigns are enabled. Also, thank you very much for having an admin involved who can create the campaigns, that helps a lot :-). Best, Soylacarli (talk) 19:13, 9 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Soylacarli thank you for pointing this out, we plan to have the national organisers request on this page itself. We have a dedicated admin to serve their requests. we will ping if we require help from other admins. once again thank you and happy new year. -- Tiven2240 (talk) 08:46, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Nokib Sarkar: Thanks for setting up the campaign! With only en as priority language, the banner cannot be translated into other languages. Is this intended? I would expect that all participating languages should be available. Do you intend to add them one by one? Best, —DerHexer(Talk)17:39, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever you prefer and makes it easier for you to handle these. In my opinion, it depends a little on the number of subcampaigns (fewer campaigns can be handled separately more easily, requests with multiple subcampaigns seem easier to be handled on one page; but these are just my feelings). — CentralNotice/Request/Wiki Science Competition 2025 was even a combination of both. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)11:21, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The "participate now" button hadn't been translated into Norwegian Bokmål (no) and Nynorsk (nn), so I have done that now. It should read "Delta nå" in both languages.
Also, re. campaign duration: It has been set up to run for two whole months. Could that be changed to one month for languages no, nn and se? All of March Wikimedia Norge will be investing a lot of time and resources in our annual Women in Red campaign for Norwegian and Sami Wikimedians. We are planning a central notice banner to draw attention to activites, and it would be good if we don't have to compete for attention at the risk of banner fatigue. Also, for those languages we have an alternative annual push in September each year to grow content about living heritage, and we don't have any Wiki Loves Folklore organisers. Elisabeth Carrera (WMNO) (talk) 06:35, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, @Nokib Sarkar. I'm receiving complaints (and I confirmed, both logged in and logged out) that there are two banners being shown. I see that BR was removed from this banner, but remains on this one. Can you please remove BR from this one also? This is generating confusion among the local participants. Cheers, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 16:35, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@DerHexer@EPorto (WMB) Initially the anononymous banner was not Geotargeted at all. It was meant to be shown to all non-logged in users. But now, as per your request, I removed Brazil, Portugal and Ukraine from the list. Nokib Sarkar (talk) 18:34, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Notes: 1) There's a thread asking for pointers on how they can help with translation at Talk:CentralNotice#Translation_question. Please reply with whatever links/questions are needed. -- [EDIT: Johannnes89 already partially replied, but I believe the 2nd link is also needed]
2) I tried to check, and saw the 2nd link above didn't work properly, so I believe I've fixed it with this edit (just FYI, unless it needs further changes).
Hi. The second text in the announcement ("Photograph your local culture...") is not translatable and translation link ("Help with translations)" is not clickable. Nemoralis (talk) 23:00, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Since 9 February, this has been running on nearly all projects in all languages in nearly all countries with no impression diet. Scheduled to end 31 March. In other words, this has been shown to every reader on every Wikimedia site until they click the X for roughly a week, and would have run for nearly a month and a half.
This edit pointed anonymous users to this event page, which transcludes the translated Commons page but does not actually display translated versions. In other words, the readers sent here from hundreds of languages were sent to an English-language page.
Since 1 February, running on all projects in all languages and in a number of countries. Impression diet is 5 impressions every 4 days. Scheduled to run until 31 Match.
Since 1 February, running on all projects in all languages and in the countries not covered by the country-specific one. Impression diet is 7 impressions every week. Scheduled to run until 31 March.
The two logged-in user banners have different identifiers, so someone traveling (or VPN-ing or just with a weird ISP) could easily be seeing both of these banners.
I've turned off the anonymous campaign, this has done enough damage already. For the logged-in campaigns, I recommend using the same identifier for both, a shorter run period (1 month at maximum), and increasing the impression limit to 3 per two weeks. I know that recurrent campaigns in theory do not require consensus, but I think we've hit a breaking point here. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 22:18, 16 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly support the suggestions given above. I've heard quite a bit of complaining about these banners, and the reason @Vermont dug these numbers out in the first place is because I asked a group of admins why the heck this banner is so much "stickier" than other banners and why I feel like I'm having to turn it off every time I log in to my account. With 7 impressions every week, no wonder it's been getting so annoying! That's easily more than twice as many as I would consider the outside bounds of appropriate. -- asilvering (talk) 23:17, 16 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the guidance. I remain in close coordination with the international team members and will implement the changes progressively.
The anonymous banner was an oversight on our part - thank you for addressing it. I have now enabled the banner with a low weekly impression cap and will continue to monitor its performance.
While the Events namespace was suggested by WMF, I believe it may not be the most appropriate option for this banner. As a result, I have redirected the campaign to the Commons namespace project page instead. Please let me know if you have any further recommendations. Nokib Sarkar (talk) 04:01, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Nokib Sarkar: I've turned the logged-out banner off again. It showed to every reader for a week. We're talking about billions of impressions here, this has already run its course a dozen times over. Do not turn it on without consensus. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 04:06, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Also, even though this is a recurring campaign, it would be great if you could briefly describe the purpose of the campaign in the request, so it’s well documented for the future.

Please note that it the request was on the edge of being submitted in time. 14 days are preferred. ;)
Do I understand it right that for English Wikipedia and Commons the banners should only be shown in the federal states of Eastern Punjab and Western Punjab? If so, I will have to create a separate campaign for that, but it's no problem. I just don't want to do it unnecessarily. ;)
Please provide a text in English and Punjabi for the standard banner. A logo would also be good, but it's not mandatory.
Please also provide a landing page in Punjabi language. As far as I can see, only an English project page exists so far.
Yes, the banner is for pawiki, pawikisource, Punjab, India (eastern punjab) and Punjab, Pakistan (western punjab) regions on Commons and English Wikipedia.
Banner text
en - Participate in Wiki Loves Punjab 2026 (Let's document Visuals from Villages of Punajab)
@Kuldeep (Punjabi Wikimedians): Settings turned out to be more difficult than expected. But I think I got it right: This campaign and banner (English, Punjabi preview) will only be shown on English Wikipedia and Commons for users with English or Punjabi language settings in Western and Eastern Punjabi. That campaign with that banner (similar designs) will be shown on Punjabi Wikipedia and Punjabi Wikisource for users with English or Punjabi language settings in all of India and Pakistan.
However, there are still two remarks:
The campaign is much longer than the recommended 14 days. You will need to notify local communities on all targeted wikis first, otherwise we have to shorten the duration.
The provided logo looks nice, but the text is invisible in dark mode. Please provide a dark-mode-ready version of the logo. Either one for all or an alternative that we would display in dark mode, both is fine with us.
@DerHexer: thanks for creating two different camapaign and banners, we can display banner on pawiki and pawikisource for all users without any geographical restriction because they are native punjabi language projects. we planned to display second banner on enwiki and commons for users in Punjab, India and Punjab, Pakistan region only because we don't want to disturb other users on big projects (wikis). hope i was able to clarify things.
np, we can notify if it needed for even when the banner is targeting some geo specific location only. if yes, do we need to get the consensus or just need to notify them?
for logo if i provide png format the logo, would that work? because that will not change in dark mode.
@Kuldeep (Punjabi Wikimedians): Yes, thanks, the dark modo logo version works better. I have enabled the pawiki and pawiksource banner but only for India and Pakistan right now because of the banner coding I have used. — I have send you a link for enwiki and commonswiki village pumps where you should announce the campaign. Consensus is not needed, but there should be no serious objection. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)00:30, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Kuldeep (Punjabi Wikimedians) in the banner I see the sentence "Let's document Visuals from Villages of Punajab" . Is there a typo or the spelling for Punjab is written such locally. Also @DerHexer I see the banner in all wikipedia where I visit from India whereas the banner is requested only for Commons, En and Punjabi Wikipedia and Wikisource. Can you please have a look. Tiven2240 (talk) 06:08, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Tiven2240: Thank you so much for catching the typo and bringing to our attention. The Spelling we want to use is 'Punjab'. so the corrected banner text is
Participate in Wiki Loves Punjab 2026 (Let's document Visuals from Villages of Punjab)
@Tiven2240 and Kuldeep (Punjabi Wikimedians): I have changed the text (whose wrong version was posted above ;D), and fixed the display for Wikipedia versions. It seems that you are using English language likely in your global settings; otherwise you likely would not have seen it because it was only targeting either pa or en languages.

@Jetam2: I know that this is not the first campaign of this kind, as I handled last year's campaign, too. However, two things are uncommon for me: the very long duration of the campaign (that was even increased by a month this year), and that you are also targeting logged-in users—which is usually not done in fundraising campaigns because we usally don't want to ask our volunteers for two kinds of participation (but I know that the tax deducation model is slightly different). Is it fine as is? Best, —DerHexer(Talk)10:55, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@DerHexer: I think it would be good to have it longer since people take time to do their taxes. I would just display it less often. If only shorter is possible, then start at 01-JAN and finish 31-MAR.--Jetam2 (talk) 12:32, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jetam2: You know best when the tax income happens in Slovakia, so I have implemented the full duration to the campaign but set the cookie for a month before another cycle gets started.
