All Banner/Campaign Diet: To be determined by Central Notice admin

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

Description - This banner will be used to notify new or potential contributors to Wikipedia about the Introduction To Wikipedia course available on WikiLearn.

Metrics - The main metric will be the number of new students who enrol in the course during the banner period. I would like to target the beginning of Jan 2026 to hopefully capture people who might be on holidays during this period and become curious about contributing (or learning more about contributing) to Wikipedia. There's no other banners scheduled for 2026 so far, so I'm hopeful that it would stand out.

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

Banners - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Introduction_to_Wikipedia_badge_without_text.png with text "Interested in improving Wikipedia? Enrol in the Introduction To Wikipedia course to find more ways to contribute."
