Discussion

• Pinging the CN admins involved below (apologies for the duplicate ping on discord for those with an account): @DerHexer and Soylacarli: the link in the banner currently points to the 2024 contest, not 2025 - needs update. :) thanks — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 01:14, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

  DerHexer, could you please enable the banners POTY 2025 at your earliest convenience? Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 16:35, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

  Hi @ZI Jony: Here’s the campaign and the banner (preview). It follows the same setup as in previous years (both the banner and campaign settings), but please have a look and let me know if everything looks good. Once you confirm, I’ll go ahead and enable it.

  @Soylacarli, setting looks good, unfortunately preview option is not working for me! And, an error loading banner preview in the banner, could you check and let me know? Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 05:15, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

  Hi @ZI Jony try this link, and let me know. Best, Soylacarli (talk) 15:18, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

  @Soylacarli, texts must be top of the file, not in a side with white background. See, this R1 banner preview. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 16:37, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

  @Soylacarli, reminder! Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 10:37, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

  Hi! I’ve fixed the link in the banner (sorry about that!). Regarding the text, I just want to double-check: do you want the text to appear over the image (like in the top banner example)? From what I can see, the current banner is the same as last year (and has been used since 2023), and the campaign is using it as originally requested. The only edits made are mainly the change of the landing page (as you can see here). So I just want to confirm whether you’d like an updated version of the banner. Since the current one already includes translations and everything is set up, making changes can be a bit more involved. I’d prefer to update it only if that’s really what you want. Let me know how you’d like to proceed. Best, Soylacarli (talk) 22:23, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

  @Soylacarli, then don't make any changes in original version. Unfortunately, banner preview still not working for me! Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 02:50, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

  Ok, no worries. This link should work, I tested it with another account without CN admin rights, so it should be accessible. The banner is also updated with the landing page. Once you give the OK, I’ll enable it. Best, Soylacarli (talk) 22:11, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

  @Soylacarli, looks good, please enable the banner. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 02:23, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

  done! best, Soylacarli (talk) 17:33, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
