What is the purpose of the campaign? How will you measure the success of the campaign?

Description - The Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) is an annual campaign where Wikipedians across Wikipedia language projects and communities add photos to Wikipedia articles lacking images. This is to promote the use of digital media files collected from various WP photography contests, photowalks organized by the Wikimedia community, on Wikipedia article pages. Thousands of images have been donated and contributed to Wikipedia Commons via various advocacy programs, photowalks, and contests including international photography contests such as Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc. Yet relatively few of these photos have been used on Wikipedia articles. Today, the Wikimedia Commons hosts millions of photo images but only a tiny portion of these have been used on Wikipedia article pages. This is a huge gap that this project aims at bridging

Metrics - Metrics are tracked using the hashtag tool.

Central Notice admin comments

For the admin taking up to work on this request, here is the request from 2024. Ciell (talk) 17:41, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@T Cells: I have reused the banner from 2024 which is different from the requested one for 2025. Furthermore, like last year I only targeted those countries which signed up for the competition. Please ensure that the local contacts inform their local communities before the start of the campaign. Usually, any campaigns running for more than two weeks have to have this proven and have to provide as many translations as possible. Since this is a returning campaign, I will just encourage you all to do that and have created the campaign and banner (preview). Check everything, approve it and ping me so that I can enable the campaign. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 15:50, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for looking into this, @DerHexer:. Could you please help with the link to the banner translation? Thank you. T Cells^Talk 05:56, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Here you are @T Cells, you can change the language in the top right. Ciell (talk) 06:47, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @DerHexer:, It seems the banner is not enabled yet. Kindly help us check it. T Cells^Talk 06:28, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
According to the banner allocation (example) it is running. Are you/the person who doesn't see it in a targeted country, project and language edition in the target group? —DerHexer (Talk) 07:36, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

~~Yes, I’m the person. I’m in Nigeria and the banner is not on display here. T Cells^Talk 08:04, 1 July 2025 (UTC)~~[reply]

It’s working now. Thank you. T Cells^Talk 08:07, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Ciell and DerHexer: do you mind if I add Hungary (language and country) to the global campaign? Samat (talk) 15:36, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
