• @Bodhisattwa: I have created the campaign and banner (English, Bangla, Santali preview). However, both the banner text and landing page translation for Santali seem to be missing. I wouldn't enable the campign for this language without that. Furthermore, according to the usage guidelines we expect local notifications of target communities, especially for campaigns longer than two weeks (thus, shortening the duration might also be of consideration). If possible, please reach out in advance at least to the larger projects (English Wikipedia, Commons). Take a look at the preparations, approve them and ping me so that I can activate it when the remaining points have been completed. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:20, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

@DerHexer:: apologies for the delay as we were preparing for the requirements mentioned above.

• The campaign looks fine.
• The English banner looks fine.
• Regarding the Bengali banner, it looks like you have mistakenly added it to Hindi instead of Bengali.
• We have prepared the Santali banner text. The banner will look something like this

ᱥᱩᱱᱫᱚᱨᱵᱟᱱ ᱠᱷᱚᱱ ᱦᱤᱢᱟᱞᱚᱭ ᱫᱷᱟᱹᱵᱤᱡ: ᱵᱮᱝᱜᱚᱞ ᱴᱚᱴᱷᱟ ᱨᱮᱱᱟᱜ ᱯᱟᱹᱴᱷᱩᱣᱟᱹ ᱠᱚᱣᱟᱜ ᱪᱤᱛᱟᱹᱨ ᱠᱚ ᱪᱤᱛᱟᱹᱨ ᱢᱮ ᱟᱨ ᱱᱟᱯᱟᱭ ᱥᱤᱨᱯᱷᱟᱹ ᱠᱚ ᱡᱤᱛᱠᱟᱹᱨ ᱢᱮ!

• The landing page on Commons is enabled for translations for the Santali language. As the Santali community is quite small, it might take some time to translate the entire page.
• Wikimedia Commons community has been notified here.
• English Wikipedia community has been notified here.

I hope, this fulfills all the requirements. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 08:08, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

@Bodhisattwa: Apologies for being stupid. xD I have deleted the Hindi version and published the Bangla text. I have also added the text to the Santali translation. However, I'm still linking this banner to the English version until a Santali landing page will be available (please ping me when this is completed). Please check the updates previews above again, but I have already enabled the campaign. Everything else looks good to me, thank you. :) Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 19:00, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
