Anon targetting will take into account the Knowledge is Her - IWD 2025 campaign, for the English, French and Kenyan language on the African continent. Ciell (talk) 18:00, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

@Ciell, the call to action used in the banner could be improved. "Click here and see what you can do" has two problems. First, there's the w:WP:CLICKHERE. Second, it should be "to see what", not "and see what." So overall I'd change it to "See what you can do." Can you modify this? Sdkb ^talk 15:36, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

@Sdkb WP:CLICKHERE is an interesting read, thanks for the link. I I do think that 'click here' is a more clear call to action than 'see'. I'll take your advice to change 'and' to 'to' though, and will keep CLICKHERE in mind for future banners. Thanks! Ciell (talk) 20:10, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Central Notice admin comments

• @Ciell: Please notice that there are three other global campaigns proposed for partly the same period: CentralNotice/Request/Wiki Loves Ramadan 2025, CentralNotice/Request/Wikimania 2025 Program Proposals Application, CentralNotice/Request/Wiki Loves Africa 2025. Usually, it's on your end to find a good solution to avoid banner overkill. Certainly, Women's History Month is a long-established campaign and the main window is pretty short so that it should be given preference at that time.

  Thanks for notifying, @DerHexer.

  WLA and IWD always have had a good collaboration, as you might already see from our start dates - theirs is March 1, ours March 3/4. WLA is always okay with having a lower diet in the first 1,5 week of March, to give room to IWD.

  I'll keep an eye on the others and will also chime in for the Wikimania banner, since the Knowledge is her has a special focus in the African countries and more specifically Kenya, because of Wikimania happening there in the summer. These banners should not compete for the attention of the readers, maybe both the WMF teams behind these banners can help to coordinate better. Ciell (talk) 16:57, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

  Ah, wait: the call for proposals will be logged in only? In that case, there's no conflict with the Knowledge is Her banner. Ciell (talk) 16:59, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
