Central Notice admin comments

Hi @Rodelar:,

Why would you like to show the campaign to anonymous users? Please see CentralNotice/Usage guidelines;
- It can encourage new users to participate, or encourage those who, without being logged in, enter Wikipedia. --Rodelar (talk) 12:26, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - I see, but the contest is limited to people that have an account. Furthermore, you have no metrics or goals that support the targetting of anons, attracting new users and very little information specific for newbies in the contest landing page. Please consider other ways to attract new users. Ciell (talk) 14:48, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Ok, so only logged users. --Rodelar (talk) 13:09, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please plan your banner in the calendar, and look for possible conflicting banners;
- I just added it in the calendar. --Rodelar (talk) 12:26, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Your proposed image has a lot of text, this is suboptimal for a banner. Please choose a different picture, preferably without text.
- How about I reduce the image to the logo and the main text, without indicating Mayo 2020?. --Rodelar (talk) 12:26, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - How about only the coloured globe? Ciell (talk) 14:48, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Rodelar: I mean this one? Ciell (talk) 15:10, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - Ok, just the logo. --Rodelar (talk) 13:09, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Ciell (talk) 10:46, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done Banner should be live in ~15 minutes. Please report back if there are any problems Rodelar. campaign & preview on wiki. Ciell (talk) 22:48, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Ciell:. I don´t know if it´s a problem with my browser or other problem, but the banner doesn´t appear. --Rodelar (talk) 07:35, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Rodelar: This is really strange, I've asked the other admins to look into this. Just making sure: you were logged in visiting the Spanish Wikipedia, with your language setting set to Spanish, while in Spain? Ciell (talk) 10:32, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Rodelar: ? Could you give some more specifics? What device where you using, were you logged in, etc? See questions above. Ciell (talk) 11:45, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Quiddity (WMF): are there any other reports of banners not working? Der Hexer has looked at the campaign, but it should be visible. Ciell (talk) 11:45, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ciell: It happened when logged in Spanish Wikipedia, in Spain, for several days. Today I checked it again and is already working. --Rodelar (talk) 14:15, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good to hear, thanks! Ciell (talk) 09:29, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ciell: No other reports that I've seen or been pinged for. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 16:59, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks! Ciell (talk) 09:29, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
