this is how the "Regensburg" text gets truncated at the bottom. Maybe this is a limitation of the CSS we have here? « Saper // talk » 00:08, 7 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, but since we cannot copy the wiki markup anyway and have to rebuild the banner in HTML and CSS, it should be fine if it is displayed there correctly. — Am I right in assuming that you want to help out with creating that banner here? I can also handle it, no problem. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)15:39, 8 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @KuboF Hromoslav: I have the banner ready here (preview). However, if you want to target multiple languages, the usual best practice is to have the banner available in those languages as well. Could you narrow down the target languages and provide the translations? With that information, I can create the campaign.
Just to clarify: the project selection is tied to the language target. For example, if you select "Wikipedia" and target "es", that would target es.wikipedia.org. So regarding the projects, do you want to target only Wikipedia in multiple languages, or would you also like to target Commons or other Wikimedia projects? Ping me when you have the details and we can proceed. Best,--Soylacarli (talk) 22:40, 4 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@KuboF Hromoslav: Additionally, community consensus should reached on all targeted wikis, not only Commons where the landing page will be. ;) Furthermore, for a global multilingual campaign it would be highly recommendable to have country, language or project ambassadors that help locally communities to understand the competition and have easy contact to the global organizers. A more appealing banner design might motivate active users, too. Finally, have you reached out to Wiki Project Med and its organizers like Doc James as they seem to me to be the initial group to organize global health-related campaigns? Recommendation: Looking at the campaign that is soon about to start and the good intentions and partnerships behind the coordination, it seems much more reasonable to me to start your new campaign this time in Esperanto and a few other major languages (like English) that you can still inform about it, as well as limited geographical regions that are more easily to handle (CentralNotice admins cannot select continents, please only provide target countries). — The reach of the campaign can still be further expanded in future editions and with more partners.

This is a request from the organizers of itWikiCon 2026, specifically from the group in charge of the programme. The programme committee is still finalizing the budget and the overall format of the event, but it has already decided to open a first call for programme submissions by the end of June. Depending on the number and type of submissions received, the committee may decide to launch a second call later, most likely in August. For this reason, they would like the banner to run at the end of June, in order to support the first phase of programme collection and then assess whether a second call will be needed. --Ilario (talk) 17:24, 21 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This is a request from the organizers of itWikiCon 2026, specifically from the group in charge of scholarships. The scholarship call opened on 29 May and will remain open until 19 July 19th June and will remain open until 3rd July. The group would like the banner to be displayed as early as possible, with a first run around 15 June. Based on the number of applications received, they may then request a second banner run if the number of scholarship applications remains insufficient. This is therefore a separate request from the programme call, with a different timeline and planning process. --Ilario (talk) 17:24, 21 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Ilario For organisational reasons, the period for scholarship applications has been adjusted. This means that the duration of the banner would also need to be adjusted. If possible, please set it to 19 June – 3 July. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. --Dorine Barth (WMCH) (talk) 19:03, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Building on the success of the previous two editions, the Wiktionary Entry Contest 2026 is organized to encourage contributors to create new entries and enhance existing ones on the Bengali Wiktionary. The contest aims to enrich the Bengali lexicon, improve the overall quality of the dictionary, and strengthen it as a reliable resource for everyone.

Hi @Luxbane: Just two small things. First, could you change the wording of the banner to make it more clearer? Because is not entirely clear of "what happened", I mean I know it I've seen the news but we can't assume everyone will understand that you want to document exactly that. Second, I can't use the second image because it's the logo of an organization outside the Wikimedia movement. Best, --Soylacarli (talk) 17:27, 6 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Agbalagba: I have created the campaign and banner (preview). However, there are still a few things to do before the campaign can be enabled:
Please provide a translation of the banner text into Yoruba as this needed because you also target Yoruba Wikipedia.
The landing page should ideally be translated into Yoruba, too. I can understand that marking them for translation might be a bit tricky. Two solutions come to my mind: Create another page in Yoruba that I can link in a banner, or add a summary in Yoruba to your English landing page so that native speakers also understand the process.
The logo has a white background that should be transparent. For that reason I changed the background from light grey into white. But that does only work in light mode, not dark mode. A dark mode solution should be found (I prefer the transparent logo, but there are other solutions like a second logo that I could show whenever dark mode is used).

@Saper: Did we overlap with our attempts? = ) Maybe we can create a versions with best of both worlds? Your texts look better than the ones I have created. The button-like element is not placed so well in mine, especially on mobile. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)12:17, 19 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Yes we did but I don't mind that since I am an admin in training, just learning stuff here. In particular I want to learn if SVG banner icons load faster for the users. Refreshing my CSS skills as we speak. So please go ahead and we can collaborate. « Saper // talk » 13:03, 19 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
We should definitely use SVGs if available, because we have to keep mobile data in mind in regions where flatrates are not common. That's why the admin training recommends maximum image sizes = thumbnails (for non-SVG files which are usually smaller). — Wrt to the banner, the new version looks good to me. —DerHexer(Talk)15:56, 19 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Vsdetoni (Projeto Mais+): thanks for the request. The banners you provided are in Wikitext format, but CentralNotice banners need to be created in html/css. You can either request a standard banner, or provide your own banner code following the guidelines here. Please keep in mind that banners should work properly across different devices and also in both light and dark mode. I’ve already created the campaign, but the banner is still missing for now. Best, --Soylacarli (talk) 16:32, 13 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Soylacarli, Saper, and Vsdetoni (Projeto Mais+): The banner looks good to me, I just changed it slightly for better dark mode compatibility (although it's not perfect yet). I have created a banner version of that (preview) and added it to the campaign, plus added an impression diet. For me, the campaign looks ready now. Please check everything, approve it and ping any of us so that we can enable the campaign. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)16:02, 19 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I made some new adjustments to the banner. I had mistaken the event date, so that has now been corrected. I also made a few changes to the code so that the “Participate!” button would not sit too close to the edge of the banner. If this causes any issues with responsiveness, please let me know and I can find another alternative or we can keep it as it was before. Thank you for your attention to our campaign. Best, Vsdetoni (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 17:32, 19 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, @DerHexer, @Saper, @Soylacarli! We noticed that the banner started running today on the Portuguese Wikipedia, and we really appreciate it. However, we also noticed that there is an error in the event dates displayed on the banner.
The correct dates are July 24 to September 18. Could you please update this as soon as possible?

@Trizek:The English version works well for me, the French one too (but there I have published the translation first). — I have added a diet and reduced the sizes of the logos so that they fit on mobile devices; it looks okayish in dark mode so that it looks ready to go for me. Obviously, more translations of the banner texts would be nice, but the link in the banner should be a good patch for that. However, please regularly check all its translations and publish them. I'm not sure if CN admins can do that or they also have to be local translation admins; if need be, ping me to confirm the translations. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)15:48, 8 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for checking! I'm reassures that the text shows up. :)
Reusing translations wasn't possible as they all mentioned past events and had different dates. So I created one that can be reused (except for dates). I'll keep an eye on the translations (more to come), which I can publish.

@Manfred Werner (WMAT): Please be reminded that according to CNUG, Wikimedia staff created campaigns need community check and approval before they can be enabled. I have checked the campaign and banner and at least for me, the text is cut off in mobile preview. There is no dark mode alternative, but it might still be acceptable. Other than that it looks okay to me. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)15:16, 8 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@DerHexer: Thank you for the message! On the start date, July 1, I saw that it was not activated but took the first message above as an OK to the request and activated it myself. I am aware that this should actually be done by one of the volunteer admins, but had the impression it may have been overlooked. As this banner is only shown on a selection of projects only in Austria the overall impact on the Wikimedia projects is not too big. Regarding the technical aspects: I was not aware that dark mode should be applied to banners too. I'll think of it in the future (and hope to figure out how implentation can be achieved). I saw that the text is cut off on mobile view on some devices. This only affects the second part of the text and the main information (dates and "WikiDaheim") are still visible. Best. Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 11:32, 9 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Seems that we find ourselves in a misunderstanding, with “We are happy to check the campaign settings.” I wanted to say: “We are happy to check the campaign settings <so that we volunteer CNA's can approve the campaign then>.” Anyway, it was checked and approved.

Hi @Sahaquiel9102: thanks for the request. For the banner, you'll need to provide the text you would like to appear, and it can also include a small image (preferably a logo or an image related to the activity). With that information, I can start creating the banner. Could you also let us know which language(s) you would like to target? In addition, do you want the campaign to run worldwide, or can it be narrowed down to specific countries or regions?
Also, per the Central Notice guidelines, banners can only run for up to two weeks. Could you please adjust the dates accordingly so I can set up the campaign? If you would like the banner to run for a longer period, you'll need to obtain consensus from the community of the project you are targeting. Ping me when you have the details and we can proceed with the request. Best, --Soylacarli (talk) 22:29, 4 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Soylacarli:, thanks for your comments. I changed the extension of the campaign. I added also File:Vikio Amas ZEOjn.svg as the image for the banner. Concerning the languages and the countries to target, the nature of the contest and the heritage we aim to preserve with it is very international and spreaded all around the globe, and so we are targeting as much countries and languages as possible. In terms of languages, I think we could narrow it to the most spoken ones plus Esperanto, but not running the campaing worldwide would affect the goal and spirit of the contest. -Sahaquiel9102 (talk) 16:41, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Sahaquiel9102, Thanks for the update and for adjusting the campaign dates. A few details are still missing before I can create the banner and campaign. First, I have the logo now, but I still need the actual text that should appear in the banner. Second, regarding the languages: I understand the goal is to reach as many people as possible, but I'll need an explicit list of the languages you want to target. So please provide the exact language codes or language names you would like included. Finally, if you would like the banner to appear in multiple languages, I'll also need the translations of the banner text for those languages. Once I have the banner text, the target languages, and any translations you would like to use, I can proceed with setting everything up. Best, Soylacarli (talk) 20:12, 9 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Sahaquiel9102, No worries at all, and thanks for gathering all the translations! I've created the campaign and the banner (preview). The translations are already set up through TranslateWiki, so everything should be ready from that side. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that it would be great to have the Commons landing page available in those languages as well, so users are taken to a page they can read. Please review everything, and if it all looks good, let me know so I can enable the campaign. Best, Soylacarli (talk) 21:21, 30 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Looks awesome! Thanks for all your help. I hope that with the start of the contest, some volunteers will add their languages in the landing page. So far, those are the ones we could get.

Yes, will do. I assume we'll include both logged-in and non-logged-in users like last year, @Myotus:? I also think we can leave it turned on for a few more days longer. Pharos (talk) 03:07, 20 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I had requested just logged in but, yes, if that was what was done last year then include both logged-in and non-logged-in users. Thank you for your help. Myotus (talk) 13:07, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Please ensure that the banner text is translatable and that the JavaScript logic functions as intended. I apologize for submitting this request late, as our preparations were not completed early enough to submit the banner request sooner. —MdsShakil (talk) 17:24, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@MdsShakil I've created the campaign [4] and the banner [5] (English preview [6] – currently empty; Bengali preview [7]). Please provide the English text for me to insert via the CN interface. I've already entered the bn-translations. This is the link [8] to be used for providing the other translations (my example link is using Hindi). Please check if the campaign settings and banner design are correct. I can enable the banner once you've confirmed everything to be correct and I've inserted the English text. --Johannnes89 (talk) 10:54, 20 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Johannnes89, update for June is done. Please note that I have changed the duration to two weeks and limited the regions. Sorry for the short period leading up to the start, but it's not that serious if you can't make it until tomorrow. –MrBenjo (talk) 16:31, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your quick response. As far as I can see, you didn't change the region to NRW and Hesse. Would be great if you could adapt this. –MrBenjo (talk) 18:52, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Queers und Frauen in Tübingen am dd.mm 2026
Wolltest du schon immer wissen, wie die Wikipedia funktioniert? Hast du Lust mitzumachen oder Fragen?
Für alle queeren Menschen und Frauen, kommenden Dienstag 18-20 Uhr wieder in Tübingen: Offenes Neuen Treffen!
Event dates:
28.04.

22.09.
27.10.
24.11.
Landing Page - please update the landing page to the current event:
Campaign [12], banner [13], preview link [14] (should only display a banner while you're in Tübingen and either logged-out or logged-in but less than 50 edits).
The text is way too long (try looking at the banner at a smaller screen...)
How about just using the first question?
Ideally the second sentence would be shorter as well, e.g. removing "wieder"?
While looking at the landing page I noticed that the option to register is only available to logged-in users – as is the second option (Wikimail).
How about providing an email address for logged-out users who don't want to register prior to the event?
Linking Spezial:E-Mail senden/DarkGreenAndSunny somewhere (currently "per [[Hilfe:Wiki-Mail|Wiki-Mail]] an [[Benutzerin:DarkGreenAndSunny|DarkGreenAndSunny]]") might also be helpful for logged-in users...
We'll shorten the text, you are right, its way too long to work on different screens
(* What do you think of the suggestion "Wolltest du schon immer wissen, wie die Wikipedia funktioniert? Für alle Queers und Frauen kommenden Dienstag in Tübingen: Offenes Treffen" @Alpenhexe)
We are working on the e-mail address solution, yes! We are currently having the problem that we ourselves are not able to change the necessary settings of our mailing-list for non-subscribers to be able to contact us. But that was the idea and we're on it.
Should we not be able to provide the mailinglist solution, I'll think about your last idea, thanks!
Danke für die Rückmeldung! Ich würde überlegen, trotzdem die Uhrzeit zu nennen, ist in meinen Augen dann auch noch kurz genug. Habs erstmal wie gewünscht geupdated [15] (Vorschau [16]). Wenn du magst, können wir auch Samstag in Stuttgart nochmal übers Banner reden. Johannnes89 (talk) 18:29, 14 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Also"Wolltest du schon immer wissen, wie die Wikipedia funktioniert? Für alle Queers und Frauen kommenden Dienstag 18 Uhr in Tübingen: Offenes Treffen".

Thanks for creating the banner @Martin Rulsch (WMDE), the new geo-location script looks very interesting. The banner does not work in dark mode for me, and I notice there's a lot of text in the notice, and would advise (non-binding) to shorten the invitation to join the event.

Both, the proportion can be determined by the CentralNotice Admin depending on what works best.

Germany, only the region of Berlin. Depending on what works best, the CentralNotice Admin can deviate from this (e.g. a circle with a certain radius around the centre of Berlin).
