Now the banner code is completed (it should be displayed in 17 different language versions depending on the user's language setting) and also the geographical targetting is set. Please take look and let me know if it is alright like that or if something should be changed. I am not sure about the language switch of the banner, still looking into it. It is displayed correctly in English, but at least in the preview I can not make the languages switch. --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 14:41, 24 April 2025 (UTC) Edit: The language switch is working. --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 18:38, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Martin Urbanec:, @Seddon:, @Steinsplitter:, @Vermont:, @Yahya: Please forgive that I am pinging all of you, but I do not know who of the admins listed above might be available at the moment. Der Hexer helped me when I prepared the CN campaign, but now it would be kind if someone else (not associated with WMDE because they are project partner with the contest) could help with the activation. Can you please take a look at this CN request? The plan was to start it yesterday, so people get informed of the contest in advance. Thank you! --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 14:17, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Manfred Werner (WMAT) The banner will be running until May 11, 2025, right? Other than that, everything looks good to me. I’ve enabled the banner. ~ Yahya (talkcontribs) 15:52, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Yahya Thank you! Yes, it is planned for a two weeks period, beginning now, bofre the contest starts, to draw attention to it. --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 16:01, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
