Discussion[edit]

Hello there, it's been a while since last time I requested a CentralNotice campaign, so if I forgot something, let me know!

We would love to advertise our next online event, the Wikidata Leveling Up Days, targetted at people who want to learn more about Wikidata. We would like to have it running on Wikidata, Commons, Wikipedia, Wikivoyage and Wikisource, for logged-in users only, from March 25 to April 14. Although the event is taking place in English, most content will be released in advance in video on Commons so people can add translated captions.

If something's wrong with the proposed banner, please help me fix it. Many thanks in advance, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk) 13:41, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lea Lacroix (WMDE)! A few notes/questions:
  • You've requested that this be shown in all languages. In effect, this means it would be shown to logged-in users on every Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Wikisource, Commons, and Wikidata. Given that the event is taking place (only?) in English, and that the landing page isn't even translatable, this is not okay. We should, as much as is reasonably possible, not be showing English banners to people whose interface language is not English. If English-language ability is required to participate in the event, it should be shown only in English. If it is able to be supported in more languages, relevant content/instructions/etc. should be available in those languages. (see guidelines on "relevant targets")
  • Did you notify the target wikis of the banner request? Considering your request is for ~500 wikis, I'm assuming no, so I'd recommend notifying the relevant wikis after you've adjusted which wikis you want to run this on. (see guidelines, "The target wikis should be notified of the Meta-Wiki discussion...")
  • There are 6 WMDE staff accounts with the CentralNotice administrator right. There are fewer volunteer CN admins. Can one of your staff facilitate this request?

Hi Vermont, thanks a lot for your reply. I just wanted to mention that we can put this request on hold while I'm discussing with my colleagues and see how I can reduce the scope of the banner and work on improvements. Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk) 13:41, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
