Central Notice admin comments

• I have created the campaign and a mockup of the banner (preview). As soon as the design for the banner is finalized and the landing page available, I will ask for volunteer CN admin approval. Best, Martin Rulsch (WMDE) (talk) 13:19, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi, banner and campaign look good to me, they can be enabled. One piece of feedback on the banner: with the previous campaign request I already shared that WMDE is trying to put a lot of words in one banner, and please realize that people won't read long banner texts. "Mehr Infos hier" is basically a redundant piece of text, and also not accessible language as described here (and I know WMDE cares about accessibility!). I would advise to just leave it out, it only confuses people. Ciell (talk) 16:02, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback! We have shortened the text and removed the “hier” call. We have enabled the campaign. Best, Martin Rulsch (WMDE) (talk) 16:35, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
