Thanks for submitting the request so early! I don't see an issue with volunteer CentralNotice admin approval as required by CentralNotice/Usage guidelines#Policies for Affiliates and WMF Staff. I want to point out though (as mentioned last time [1]), that I would expect WMDE CentralNotice admins to create both campaign and banner, instead of relying on volunteers (which is also what the CentralNotice guidelines ask for).

@Johannnes89: could you please check this again? best --Christian Philipp (WMAT) (talk) 10:57, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping @Christian Philipp (WMAT)! We appreciate if @Manfred Werner (WMAT) creates the campaign & banner via the CentralNotice interface, once Meta:Requests for CentralNotice adminship/Manfred Werner (WMAT) is successful. It just needs approval from volunteer CN admins per CentralNotice/Usage guidelines#Policies for Affiliates and WMF Staff, but can be created & managed by yourself.
Per CentralNotice/Usage guidelines campaigns running longer than two weeks usually require community approval. Even if this is an established campaign, the unusually long duration should be discussed with the de(-AT) community.
Personally I think the duration might be ok, if the banner is running on a low impression diet and with limited traffic, in order to make sure it doesn't annoy editors (and readers) again and again for many weeks... Johannnes89 (talk) 18:40, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Althair please note that CentralNotice/Usage guidelines require approval from your local community for banners running longer than two weeks (especially if the banners is also shown to logged-out users). --Johannnes89 (talk) 18:38, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johannnes89: I notified 6 days ago/P and there was no clear opposition. Althair (talk) 00:21, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Johannnes89: Ping corrected. —DerHexer (Talk) 13:37, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Althair: Please notice furthermore that in Argentina, for example, there are up to four campaigns running as of now. Although one is scheduled end in November, at least CentralNotice/Request/16 días de activismo en Latinoamérica (ping @Cftoro (WMCL):) will also run until at least 10 December. Would it make sense to shorten your campaign to be started afterwards? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:39, 26 November 2024 (UTC) CC Johannnes89[reply]
@DerHexer: I would be willing to shorten the campaign in Argentina or not do it in Argentina at all. Althair (talk) 16:32, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Althair: Argentina was just an example. There are more countries overlapping. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 17:11, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DerHexer: If necessary, the duration could be reduced or the banner space could be shared with other campaigns. Althair (talk) 00:13, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Althair: So starting on 11 December would be fine with you? Then we can create the campaign. The community approval reads funny but in favour of the campaign. ;) Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:38, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DerHexer: if it is absolutely necessary to put it on so late.... yes. Althair (talk) 01:19, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Althair: No, it's not necessary. But I've already said that the other option is to find an agreement with Cftoro (WMCL) whether or not the two campaigns can run at the same time. We as CN admins cannot make the decisions for your two campaigns here, we can just tell you that there is a conflict and the options how to solve them.

@Girart de Roussillon, I created the template for this campaign, it could be reused if this first "Oceania month" has further editions.

As it is a banner for French Wikipedia logged-in users worldwide, I believe it would be fine to target Canada while having the fundraising there, @JBrungs (WMF) what do you think? Based on you reply, I'll create the campaign.

Trizek from FR 15:13, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Trizek,
Yes, I agree. Fundraising banners will be displayed to non logged in users on French Wikipedia in Canada but that should not interfere with this campaign. Have a good campaign. Best. JBrungs (WMF) (talk) 05:44, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Girart de Roussillon and Trizek: Please not that requesting a campaign should take place at least 14 days in advance according to the new CentralNotice guidelines. However, with the prepared banner and the short duration (campaigns longer than 14 days need community approval), it should be fine as is. It could have been considered using a Watchlist-summary instead of a CentralNotice banner as this campaign only targets logged-in users in a single project.
Links: campaign, banner, preview. Please approve everything so that we can enable the campaign. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:08, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JBrungs (WMF), thank you!
@DerHexer, usually these campaigns use the site notice, which is annoying these users. This is why I encouraged the community to move to CentralNotice instead, as it has better filtering solutions in user preferences.
I reviewed the campaign (edited it as it is a event) and the banner, I think we are set now. Trizek from FR 13:33, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Trizek: Events is only used for conferences and the like. Article contests, edit-a-thons, etc. are categorized with “article writing”. With this interpretation, I have reverted the change, but please feel free to change it back when you disagree. I don't mind much, but that's how we were using it usually. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:15, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll follow the custom. :) Trizek from FR 16:54, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AntonProtsiuk (WMUA) I've created the campaign [19] and banner [20] (preview [21]). Note that I exempted some organizational / technical projects and Wikidata (because they already receive many banners). Please check if both campaign settings and banner are correct and ping me once you're done, so that the campaign can be enabled. --Johannnes89 (talk) 14:59, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Kruusamägi: A little bit of description would be nice, but it looks like the Wiki Science Competition in Estonia to me. ;) Furthermore, can you please provide the banner in HTML/CSS/JavaScript source code? We cannot use wiki markup for the banners. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:14, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is an article competition on science. And yes, that is closely associated with the Wiki Science Competition.
This code isn't suitable? I am reusing an older banner with changed text and it was suitable a year ago :) Kruusamägi (talk) 22:22, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kruusamägi: Of course I remember the WMDE design. ;) However, I forgot about your request a year ago where I had already spent time to convert the wiki markup into HTML (a link would have been nice!). I could now copy and adapt this so that you can find the campaign and banner (preview). Don't forget to ping me (again ;) ) when you have checked and approved it so that I can enable the campaign. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 08:56, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DerHexer: All seems to work. Feel free to enable it.
I might use the same banner in the future as well. I'll remember to link it then :) Kruusamägi (talk) 17:31, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Enabled! :) —DerHexer (Talk) 17:33, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DerHexer: I now noticed the line in the banner is "Osale lühiartiklite võistlusel ja võida auhindu", but the asked line was "Osale artiklivõistlusel ja võida auhindu". Could that be updated? :) Kruusamägi (talk) 10:26, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WSC will not be held in 2024 (next time is indeed in 2025), but if countries want, they may have local science photo competitions. Over the years some countries have occasionally also held competitons in even-numbered years, but this is not centrally coordinated. Some other countries, like Estonia, have tried article competition in thouse years (example). Kruusamägi (talk) 12:02, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, as indicated by @Kruusamägi, we do the WSC on our side in France. The aim is to continue the momentum generated by our wikimedien residences in France. DMontagne en résidence (talk) 14:00, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DMontagne en résidence: Okay, because if there had been a handful of campaigns, it might have been easier to use one campaign instead of creating multiple ones.

  • @Janbery: Thanks for the good preparation of the campaign. You can find the campaign setting and banner (preview) here. Before I enable the campaign, I need your approval and ping.
  • We cannot program a break into the settings, but we can switch it on again. Can you please remind us with a ping after the first term?
  • I'm getting an error in the preview because the banner is loading an external Montserrat font. Is this needed? Can we use a different font instead?
  • For the correlation to the other campaign (which I will likely create later today) we have a couple of options: e.g., we can change from 50:50 display to any kind of percentage. But we can also let the 3 displays per 2 days standard setting (can be changed upon your request) of the primary campaign complete first and then show the other campaign (which would be adapted by different priority levels but at a 100 % display for each when they run). What do you prefer? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:24, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Janbery: Did you have a chance to look at these things? I will be pretty busy for the next 1.5 weeks and the campaign is set to start soon. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 21:31, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi @DerHexer, thank you for the comments!
    • I will remind you with a ping to turn the campaign on again, this works good.
    • Feel free to scrap the external font, it's more than okay to run it in the default banner font.
    • The second suggestion sounds good, let's put it on 3 per 2 days and then display the other banner.
    Sorry for the late reply and have a nice day, janbery (talk) 16:08, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Afek,

Great to have SheSaid back, and happy to help set up the campaign and banner.

Like last year, we will only enable the campaign for those languages in which the banner + landing page has translations. Can you please supply me with a list of these before the expressed starting date of the campaign? I will try and create a preview of the banner for you to check out over the weekend. Ciell (talk) 16:39, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ciell,

Afek91 (talk) 09:50, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the list @Afek91. All of these start on Sept 1st?
Here is a preview of the banner, I tried to make it resemble the mock up above as much as I can. Please review and tell me what you think.
Meanwhile, you and the colleagues can start translations ahead of the start of the campaign here. Ciell (talk) 18:31, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also:
I am proposing the Wikipedia banner to start on Sept 2nd, because the WLM banners will also already go live on the 1st. Does that make sense to you? Ciell (talk) 18:49, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Yes all start on the 1st of september.
Okey with the banner and it all makes sence.

Hi Afek,

Over the weekend I have been working to improve the SheSaid banners by shortening the participant pipeline (number of clicks they need to engage with the landing page). By creating individual campaigns and banners for all languages, the engagement is now much more direct. For this I reviewed all the languages and landing pages you have listed on the Meta page and collected them here in one overview with the information I need for the banners, and noticed that 5 languages do not have a landing page for SheSaid 2024: I have decided to not target these languages anymore, since I assume these are not really participating? No landing page means no available information for participants. For the 4 languages that I, after a month of running the translatable banner, don't have a local language version on the banner text available, they are still receiving the general banner they saw previously, but will still be send to Meta where the participant will have to look up their project manually (instead of being directed to their Wikiquote directly).

I hope this makes sense, please let me know if you have questions! Ciell (talk) 15:00, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
