Central Notice admin comments

• @Vic Sfriso (WMLGBT) and Ceaseless Watcher: I have created the campaign and banner (preview en, es, fr). Please check everything, approve it and ping me so that I can enable the campaign. @Vermont: Can you check for dark mode readability, please? I am not sure if the black text on ping background is well readible. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 20:34, 9 October 2025 (UTC) PS: Please check if campaigns like CentralNotice/Request/Wikileyendas de Uruguay would be in parallel and make agreements with the other organizers (and let us know).

  @Vic Sfriso (WMLGBT) and Ceaseless Watcher: The campaign is supposed to be running. Can you please have a look? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 17:24, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

  Hello @DerHexer, both me and Vic have been at a wiki event since Thursday, we've talked about it with people from Uruguay and they said they had no problem, the only thing left is asking via wiki to show you, but I haven't even made it home yet so you'll have to give us a bit more of time. It's alright if the campaign banner starts a bit late. 👁 Ceaseless Watcher 👁 (talk; they/them) 18:14, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

  Yes, sure, no pressure. I just went systematically through all campaigns and left some comments/reminders. :) —DerHexer (Talk) 19:22, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

  Thank you for the reminder :) Finally home and pinging @Paula (WDU), from Wikimedistas de Uruguay, this is about sharing the time of the banner for your event with the one here for Queering Wikipedia 2025, which will also be shown in Uruguay :) Would that work for you? 👁 Ceaseless Watcher 👁 (talk; they/them) 22:32, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

  Greetings, @DerHexer and @Ceaseless Watcher. As our campaigns target different interests, I think they could run in parallel for some time without competing for the same audience. So, yes! It'd work for me. Best to all, Paula (WDU) (talk) 15:06, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

  Okay, should I enable the campaign then? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 15:42, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

  Please, go ahead @DerHexer. And thanks to all of you, @DerHexer @Ceaseless Watcher and @Paula (WDU) Vic Sfriso (WMLGBT) (talk) 16:03, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

  Enabled. Dark mode seems to work with me. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:07, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

  Several users have reported seeing it, so it's working just fine, thank you!! 👁 Ceaseless Watcher 👁 (talk; they/them) 17:22, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

  @DerHexer, a user sent us screenshots of frwiki showing the banner in English, can you check please? We added the French translation a few days after opening this request (but before anyone replied), maybe that's why? Thank you 👁 Ceaseless Watcher 👁 (talk; they/them) 15:57, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

  Strange. I have fixed it. Thanks for reporting! Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:45, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

  Now it shows the correct text, thank you for the quick fix!! 👁 Ceaseless Watcher 👁 (talk; they/them) 02:47, 16 October 2025 (UTC)
