• @Sage (Wiki Ed): I have created the campaign and banner (preview). Please check everything, approve it and ping me so that I can enable the campaign. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:17, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

  @DerHexer approved! Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:07, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

  Enabled. —DerHexer (Talk) 18:13, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

  @DerHexer: please disable both of the active campaigns. The geo-fencing JS seems to have problems, as the banners are appearing for people outside of the intended areas. Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 03:23, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

  Okay. Please let me know when they can be enabled again. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 10:08, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

  @Sage (Wiki Ed): Do you want to have it enabled soon again? Or should we close these two requests for now? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 19:59, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

  @DerHexer We should close these two requests. The fact that the geo-fencing JS was not working as intended means that we were showing these two banners (and the earlier one as well) to the entire states they were configure for, and we got enough hits that we learned a lot about how this type of banner behaves, so we want to update both the messaging and the targeting strategy before we try it again. Thanks so much for your help with these! I'll open new requests when we are ready to try again. Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:01, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

  Okay, thanks for the update. I mark them as closed. —DerHexer (Talk) 09:29, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
