Ok, thank you. – Ammarpad (talk) 09:10, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ciell, Vermont or other CN admins, can anyone please look into this? It's supposed to launch in around a week now. Thanks – Ammarpad (talk) 14:19, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This campaign starts in 5 minutes. Could a CN help with this request, please? I'm respectfully pinging Vermont and any passing CN admin should help with this request. T Cells^Talk

@User:Romaine could you please help with this request? Thank you. T Cells^Talk 07:30, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, DerHexer. We appreciate the feedback. We are working on this now. We will ping you as soon as we make significant progress. Reading Beans (talk) 18:19, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Central Notice admin comments

@Ammarpad and T Cells: Global campaigns are a nightmare to program for us. The table on Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2024/Participating Communities is a good first step, but it consumed a lot of my time to find out the “Philippine languages”, find the right language codes for a couple of languages (Setswana -> Tswana -> tn.wikipedia.org), etc. All in all, I tried my best so please check everything with care!
Some further remarks: We cannot enable the campaign globally as requested because that could make trouble with unaffected countries (e.g., a German campaign organized by the Austrian chapter should only target German-language Wikipedia in Austria because Wikimedia Austria might not be able or interested in covering activities in Germany, Switzerland, etc. as well). For that reason, I have limited the campaign to the participating countries (except for Czechia who requested their own campaign).
Another problem is that we neither have translations available for the banner text (except for Italian which I've included although a two-sentence translation causes some problems with a one-sentence original text) and landing page (about 5 out of 48 languages). I have added a note to the banner that people should help with translations, but usually we only enable campaigns when translations are ready (I'd say at least 50 % should be available). Please reach out to your contacts as soon as possible and have them provided translations at least for the banner and also as fast as possible for the landing page. Until I will see some progress here, I cannot enable the campaign.
Here you can find the campaign, banner and preview. As said, please check everything, approve it and ping me about the progress with translations so that I can enable the campaign. Do the same when new languages or countries show up. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:04, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help, DerHexer. It's much appreciated. Could you please provide a direct translation link of the CentralNotice banner? Something like this in 2021. Thank you. T Cells^Talk 18:25, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's linked in the preview: here. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:27, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. T Cells^Talk 18:33, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DerHexer, Just a quick update: translations for the banner have been completed, and the landing page is being translated. Thank you for your help. T Cells^Talk 20:50, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@T Cells: Thanks, I have marked the trainslations as published. Please check the campaign and banner (preview) and let me know when I can enable the campaign. I think that it makes sense to wait some more hours so that work on the translations of the landing page can progress, but it could be enabled now, in my opinion. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 21:11, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks fine. I trust your judgement. We should wait for more hours and it could be enabled tomorrow. Thank you so much. T Cells^Talk 21:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@User:DerHexer, Greetings. It could be enabled now. Thank you for all your help. T Cells^Talk 07:34, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, enabled. —DerHexer (Talk) 07:56, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. T Cells^Talk 07:57, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
