Discussion

[edit]

@Ciell:, @Pharos:, since Wikimania is a public event, will it be fine if the banner be visible to all wiki projects and also visible for readers/ unlogged? This was discussed last night at the organizer's meeting, isn't it @Fuzheado:? ---Exec8 (talk) 13:46, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Exec8: What would the purpose be of showing this banner to anonymous users? We try to use this option very little, even more so on a global scale. Per Usage guidelines on this: "Be as narrowly tailored as necessary." Ciell (talk) 08:04, 14 July 2021 (UTC) (ping added Ciell (talk) 09:27, 15 July 2021 (UTC))[reply]

Hello @Ciell and Pharos:, as per new instruction from WMF Wikimania team, the registration will be opened until 12th August, 2021. Please update the central banner accordingly. Thanks in advance. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 16:36, 6 August 2021 (UTC) (on behalf of Wikimania 2021 COT)[reply]

@Bodhisattwa: yes, so I noticed. ;-) Any desired end time in UTC? Ciell (talk) 17:19, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ciell:, 23:59 UTC on 12 August, 2021 would be ok. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 19:28, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Done Ciell (talk) 20:53, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot @Ciell:, it would be great if you can change the language of the banner to reflect the closing date of the registration, something like, "The 2021 Wikimania Conference is open for registration until 12 August 2021. Please register to get access to the event space." -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 15:09, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Bodhisattwa please make sure the translators translate the new banner text as well. :) Ciell (talk) 18:12, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
