Hi @Ederporto: here's the campaign and the banner (preview). I also added brasil-pt as language just in case :-). Let me know if we need to change anything. Best, --Soylacarli (talk) 14:16, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much, @Soylacarli! I approve the banner. Cheers, Ederporto (talk) 16:28, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Ederporto and Soylacarli: The white background looks very bright in dark mode. Can you provide a dark-mode ready version? Or should we change the background color to something appropriate for both modes? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 19:44, 12 February 2026 (UTC) PS: As a German my heart always skips a beat when it sees monochromous triangles. — The red one in this direction stands for Wehrmacht deserters in concentration camps.[reply]
Hello, @DerHexer can you point me to how to test with dark mode? I did via Preferences>Gadget>Dark mode, and to me it changes white to black, and the red to a muted red. Maybe I can create a css workaround if that's the case, but I was unable to reproduce the problem.
About the PS, this is the symbol of the flag of Minas Gerais, and I'm quite confident that Brazilians will readily recognize it in that context. It's a well-known historical emblem here --attatched to the 1789 unsuccessful separatist movement called Inconfidência Mineira--, so the association tends to be very clear. I completely understand your point, though — context really does make all the difference! Cheers, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 14:14, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Here on the right (maybe you have to uncollapse it at the top) there is a section "Color (beta)" which easily allows you to change between dark and standard mode. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 14:29, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@DerHexer, @Soylacarli, I just now updated the banner code to address the dark mode support. Please take a look and see if everything is working accordingly. I wish I could preview a banner in production. Cheers, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 19:42, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
