editThe message on the Bistrot of WP:FR is here.
- @Myrelionis: As far as I can see, there are some concerns regarding banner campaigns (at all). What is your opinion about that? —DerHexer (Talk) 19:36, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hello @DerHexer this is the first time that @Myrelionis is trying to set up a banner for our Quinzaine des autreices. I dont think they feel comfortable answering yet, they are just trying to do what we have been doing the last years. Maybe you could explain the concerns to them and link to relevent discussions ? Warm regards Natacha LSP (talk) 12:39, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
- The discussion was linked by them in the first message. I tried to follow the concerns there but I don't feel safe enough to make a decision here if the concerns there are too big that the campaign should not be created. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 12:48, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you @DerHexer now i understand better your concerns. @Laugriville et @Myrelionis le message posté sur le bistrot sert à demander l'aval de la communauté sur la Wikipédia francophone, et DerHexer ne peut pas décider seul de valider la bannière ou non. ̴̴̴̴ Natacha LSP (talk) 15:49, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

edit- similar campaign setting for French-speaking countries —DerHexer (Talk) 19:37, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- High DerHexer (Talk). Thank you for your concern. I am one of the two people who try to ask for a banner. I have seen your example for french speaking countries. Can you tell me please where I can choose those items ? Thank you very much for your help. Laugriville (talk) 13:33, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Laugriville: I'm not sure I understand what you mean. For the other campaign I have used the en:List of countries and territories where French is an official language article for selecting all French-speaking countries. In the linked campaign you can see the list of countries and regions that I could match. If you want one or the other removed or added, please list it here. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:39, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
- @DerHexer. In the request, I delete the terms "and all french talking countries in Africa" which was too large. Is it your point when you write " if the concerns there are too big" ? Thank you again. Laugriville (talk) 15:49, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Laugriville: It's not much of a problem for me to include more countries, it's okay with me when I copy the countries from the WikiConvention Francophone 2024 campaign. But, in the community discussion I can read comments like “Ce que je voulais dire c'est qu'il est loin d'être évident qu'il y ait un consensus communautaire pour l'usage des bannière.” and general concerns about using banners at all (and in particular for this campaign). We CentralNotice administrators are obliged to create and enable a campaign only when there is community consensus. And yes, I know that this is a returning campaign which makes it complicated because I want to support you to get the campaign enabled. — I think that is what Natacha LSP also implied above. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:03, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
- @DerHexer. Sorry, I did'nt got you well about the consensus of the community. I understand now. We will discuss on the Bistro to try to get a consensus for this particular banner, before there is any survey on banner case in general. Thank you very much for your patience. Best regards. Laugriville (talk) 16:13, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

edit- @Jon Harald Søby (WMNO): Am I assuming right that you will handle this campaign? Please keep in mind that according to the new CN usage guidelines, campaigns running longer than two weeks have to be announced to the local projects in advance and that staff-created campaigns like this need volunteer CN admin approval (I am happy to help out with that :) ). Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:24, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- Kind reminder to this open question, @Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) Ciell (talk) 10:15, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
- @DerHexer, @Ciell: Sorry, I thought I had already replied, but it turns out I started writing a reply but never posted it. D'oh!
- Yes, I will handle the parts that I can handle. As for running time, it might be short notice to announce it in advance right now? If it's okay, we can start the campaign tomorrow (or when I have the banner ready) and announce it at the same time, and if there are objections to the running time, we can limit it to 2 weeks? Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (talk) 11:01, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
- Sounds reasonable to me. Please ping me/us so that we can approve the campaign (and enable it) once it is created and linked here. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:14, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

editHello Central Notice Admins. The landing page has now been created. The central notice can now be created.
Central Notice admin comments
edit- @Joris Darlington Quarshie: Unfortunately, we cannot process this request so easily.
- At first, I'm a little bit confused by the target languages. Do you mean that you will only accept proposals in these languages? Then this should be noted elsewhere. In your current proposal, there would no invitation to any other wiki community besides the ones mentioned. E.g., why shouldn't users from German Wikipedia be allowed to also submit program proposals?
- The banner message and landing page seem to be English-only. With targeting more languages (with the before-mentioned point even a global audience), more translations would be helpful and the landing page marked for translation. However, with the submission tool being English-only as well, it might make sense to the banner message that the entire process will be English only. Nonetheless, the banner text itself could (and should!) still be multilingual.
- For that reason I was considering to reuse an earlier banner. I have found the 2024 and 2023 banners but I also remember a design similar to your proposal. Did you use another campaign as an example? In any case, it will be needed to change the year to 2025 and maybe update months so that we can save some time of our translators for the banner text.
- The landing page leads to another English-only page, eventyay. It is Wikimedia-hosted so that this is okay, but the login link via MediaWiki takes you to an OAuth call that reads “Access private data about you. Access private information.”. I know what OAuth is and what it is asking for. But I also know that there lots of community members who doesn't know it and will be very afraid of sharing any private information to somebody unknown (the link to the privacy policy isn't very helpful here). I know from the OAuth of The Wikipedia Library that some confirmations can even happen without a confirmation but can take place in the background. Maybe it's possible to implement that one here too.
- That's everything that comes to my mind right now. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 15:35, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- @DerHexer, I have changed the target language to all. I am reach out to the developer and Elena for eventyay about the OAuth issue. Once I resolve this issue. I will tag you here. Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 15:50, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

- @DerHexer, I think we can go with this to save time too. Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 15:51, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hello @DerHexer, With regards to the OAuth call, after a short discussion this was the outcome;
- So I know it’s a bit strange but this OAuth login as far as I’m aware has this text no matter what! If you use it to log in to Diff for example, it shows the same text about private info. I remember when we set it up with Wikimedia Space it was the same thing and I thought it was strange then but there we are with the same text 6 years later. Unfortunately this text is stored in the OAuth side of things and as far as I know can’t be changed, though if you know how I’m happy to follow your instructions!
- In this case it’s accessing your email, which we’ve detailed in the landing page
- In terms of the Wikimania Wiki landing page, I will update that link to be https://wikimedia.eventyay.com/talk/wikimania2025/cfp when the call opens. Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 21:14, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Global banner coordination
Please notice that there are three other global campaigns proposed for partly the same period: CentralNotice/Request/Wiki Loves Ramadan 2025, CentralNotice/Request/IWD 2025, CentralNotice/Request/Wiki Loves Africa 2025. Usually, it's on your end to find a good solution to avoid banner overkill. Certainly, Wikimania is a long-established global project and gets some kind of preference. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:00, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hello @DerHexer, Can any of these suggestions be put in place to help resolve this issue: Campaigns Prioritizing, Geotargeting,User Group Targeting,Time Scheduling,Frequency Capping or Banner Rotation. Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 16:14, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hya @Joris Darlington Quarshie
- Chiming in here (so it's not DerHexer that needs to take this decision about our banners without our input :-): International Women's Day campaign (leading up to this global day on March 8) have coordinated banners with the Wiki Loves Africa photo competition (which runs in March-April) before. IWD for most countries is only ~6 days, except for USA, UK and Australia where it continuous on a low diet because of Woman's History Month there. WLA banners starts earlier than IWD, IWD banners get more weight for the 6 days they are up.
- If we coordinate together, I am sure we can also coordinate with your banner. Do you think you landing page will be ready in time? I know from experience how time-tight these things for Wikimania can be.
- (Ping for @Ogalihillary fyi) Ciell (talk) 17:16, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- The landing page is ready. The only thing which needs to be updated is the eventyay link and translations for the Wikimania wiki page. The call for proposals on eventyay has already been translated from English into 4 different languages: Arabic,French,Spanish and Swahili. Which we are looking forward in opening the call for proposals on Monday 24th Feb .2025 but we want the Central Notice to go out by 27th Feb .2025 - 31st March. 2025. Once the Central Notice is created we can share it with the translators to translate it before 27th Feb 2025. Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 20:45, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Joris Darlington Quarshie but 5 weeks is a very long campaign, and we need to balance out our requests. It would be great if you can think of alternatives, for instance 5 days from Feb 25th, and another run for 5 days from March 18th. Would that be an option? Ciell (talk) 10:04, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hello @Ciell, Well noted for your suggestions. I will take this into account and discuss this with the team tomorrow. After we come into conclusion, I will get back to you tomorrow. Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 10:23, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Perhaps I suggest the other campaigns would be reconsidered to have alternative target such as reduced dates, specific projects (like commons only) and geotagging to specific countries especially the cultural & religion ones. Given that Wikimania encompassed all fields of editor/contributor thematic interest and geography, I hope this be given a preference. -- Exec8 (talk) 01:23, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

- Hello @Ciell and @DerHexer, After series of discussions. We would prefer having the central notice banner up between 7-14 days at the beginning for the call for Program proposals and between 7-14 days at the ending for the call for program proposals. As other banners will also need some visibility as well. We understand these other campaigns will also use other platforms to promote their campaigns as well. So I assume this should fit for all.
- We would love to have this start from March 6th, 2025 for the first duration and the second duration ends on March 31st,2025. Please feel free to work around the number of days within what has been provided in this message.
- If any of you also have any suggestions or need any clarifications please feel free to share or ask us.
- Thank youJoris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 22:22, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- The landing page is ready. The only thing which needs to be updated is the eventyay link and translations for the Wikimania wiki page. The call for proposals on eventyay has already been translated from English into 4 different languages: Arabic,French,Spanish and Swahili. Which we are looking forward in opening the call for proposals on Monday 24th Feb .2025 but we want the Central Notice to go out by 27th Feb .2025 - 31st March. 2025. Once the Central Notice is created we can share it with the translators to translate it before 27th Feb 2025. Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 20:45, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Joris Darlington Quarshie, Exec8, and Ciell: I have created the campaign and banner (English preview).
- Please provide here as many banner translations as possible (the same applies for the landing page). I have also added a translation link into the banner itself and will try to check the translations status as often as possible so that they can be marked as published.
- The new eventyay link looks sufficient to me so that I'm not looking for WMF approval for this non-Wikimedia second-step landing page.
- I've set the start date to Monday, 9 March noon so that the Women‘s Day Campaign can run without disturbances on its celebration day. If that affects your announcements which seem to be scheduled for 6 March, please let me know but I think that this should be the best solution. In compensation, I have increased the priority for the Wikimania program campaign so that it will be always shown ahead of the other campaigns (WLA, WLR, IWD) in its first week. — For the end of March, we have a bit of time for negotiations between the four campaigns, but I would likely go with the same prioritization as for the first term.
- All in all, please check everything, approve it and ping me so that I can enable the campaign. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 17:47, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Xavier Dengra: Please notice that we didn't include cawikis into this campaign, but your community might still be interested in participating in the global campaign. One of the community members could provide translations of banner and landing page into Catalan before it would be included in the campaign, of course.

edit@DerHexer, Johannnes89, and Martin Urbanec:, for you attention! Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 15:09, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Too late (just added to CNR yesterday), too long (six weeks, seriously?), a global campaign without ambassadors and without local communication, insufficient banner request with just a logo and no translated banner texts, and so on. I'm inclined to decline the request entirely but will take a closer look into it on the weekend, I'm on a train to the German AdminCon right now. In the meantime, you can already read CentralNotice/Usage guidelines. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 15:31, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @ZI Jony, we have several big campaigns requested to be run in the same time period, with overlapping targets with your campaign. I agree with DerHexer that 6 weeks exposure is not a suitable request. Also, is yours a writing or photography contest? Reading your grant request, and noticing your metrics are focusing on Wikipedia, Wikibooks and Wikivoyage, I would assume the former, and would like to propose to limit your CN campaign to those 3 projects, allowing more room for the Wiki Loves Africa photography contest CN campaign which will be running at the same time. And maybe we start light, and increase visibility (number of impressions) towards the end of the Ramadan for instance? Ciell (talk) 10:20, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- DerHexer and Ciell, Sorry for the late response! We really appreciate your suggestion. I'd suggest three times: in March, two times for one week each, and in April, during the last ten days of the campaign. I've updated the request page. Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 16:22, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- @ZI Jony: if you'd like this campaign to go live, we'll need a few more details to create the banner and the campaign.
- Currently, the banner is only available in 5 languages and the landing page in 11. If you'd like to target 28 languages, please list them and make sure both banner and landing page is available in those languages.
- Please note that creating, and during the competition: managing, separate campaigns for all 28 languages is a lot of work. Some CN admins do this for global campaigns, but these campaigns in general will have a dedicated person on the team for doing so. Since you have one central landing page already, my proposal would be to create a multilingual banner (the language shown in the banner will depend on the user's preferred MediaWiki interface language) to work with.
- Please also make sure to read the CentralNotice/Usage_guidelines#Customizing_Banner_Code,_Design_and_Styling on the topic of custom banners, where it reads: "Banners are made with HTML and CSS, not Wikitext." We can take your design in wikicode and transform it, but it might end up looking a bit different from your design.

edit- @J ansari, ZI Jony, and Ciell: I have created the campaign and multilingual banner (English preview, can be changed in the URL).
- I have also transferred all current translations from User:J ansari/Sendbox/2 to the banner and marked them as published. However, I have only included these languages into the campaign settings, because I don't know what the other of the 26 languages might be. Furthermore, I have added a translation link into the banner itself. Please submit as many translations as possible to the banner here (there is no need to do that on the user subpage anymore) and landing page.
- I can add more languages to the campaign at any time when you tell me which ones. For me, the campaign is ready to go, I have set the date for 10 to 16 March; let us know about the other dates.
- All in all, please check everything, approve it and ping me so that I can enable it. — And please, next time start preparations earlier and reach out to CentralNotice admins as soon as possible. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 17:04, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

edit- @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.

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)

editAnon 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)
Central Notice admin comments
edit- @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. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:02, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- 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)

editThe campaign was created here. Please check and approve. -- Samat (talk) 16:45, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- If you think it works properly, I can enable. At the same time, I would remove the Hungarian language from the WLF countries, the WLF non-countries, and from the WLF anon campaigns (not the country, only the language target!). Let me know if you see any problem with this. Samat (talk) 16:51, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Samat The banner looks consistent with the global banner. In the campaign, the end time you provided "22:59" instead of "23:59". Apart from that, other things look correct to me. But, I cannot help asking you the question that's itching my mind, " You are the only person here (other than me). So, whom did you refer to as You in the prevous question? Although English is not my first language, so I might be wrong to interpret. Since you have the central notice admin right on yourself, you can go ahead and do the honor. Nokib Sarkar (talk) 09:03, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for checking it! I meant with you everyone, who would like to check the settings of the campaign, but especially the other CentralNotice admins. I am (we are) not the only one here :) About the time: I did it on purpose because it is in UTC, which means 23:59 is already 59 minutes after midnight in Central Europe. But I made the mistake of not taking into account daylight saving time, which starts on March 30th, so I changed the end time to 21:59 now. Samat (talk) 21:08, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- After consultation, I have changed my mind and I added the English language to this local campaign and removed Hungary from the international campaign. This way, people from Hungary will generally see the notice and local page in the Hungarian language. Samat (talk) 22:15, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

editStructured with both national coordinators and an International Team, the campaign ensures comprehensive coverage. National coordinators, responsible for organizing Wiki Loves Folklore within their respective countries, play a vital role in fostering local participation. Simultaneously, the International Team steps in to organize the contest in countries lacking designated national coordinators, thereby addressing the representation gap within the Wikimedia ecosystem.

- @Kaim Amin Please note that last year, the Bengali Wikipedia community reached a consensus against displaying this Folklore banner on bnwiki.
- Kindly ensure that the banner is not shown on bnwiki unless there is a new community consensus explicitly supporting its display. খাত্তাব হাসান (talk) 17:19, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
- @খাত্তাব হাসান, kindly explain to us why is "Folklore" banner not allowed to display on Bengali wikipedia projects?. WLF and FNF both projects were organised successfully by the Bengali community last year and even this year they are all set and ready. Tiven2240 (talk) 18:51, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Tiven2240 There is no problem with displaying the banner for the Feminism and Folklore 2025 article writing contest.

- @খাত্তাব হাসান WLFBD is a Wikimedia commons project related to photography. The users via this banner are landed on Wikimedia Commons and not Bangla Wikipedia. This Banner clearly mentions that it will run in Bangladesh and not only on Bangla Wikipedia. That means any user irrespective of any Wiki Language edition accessing Wiki projects in Bangladesh user can see this Banner and go to Commons to upload.

- Please note that this was last year's decision about the folklore commons photo contest banner organized by two banned wikimedians.

Nettime Sujata (talk) 16:58, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Tiven2240 It doesn't matter whether users via this banner are banned on Wikimedia Commons or not, the community consensus is not to show this banner on Bangla Wikipedia at all. Kindly set the banner accordingly. খাত্তাব হাসান (talk) 21:21, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
- @খাত্তাব হাসান I don't know if you read my previous messages well. It clearly seems that there is a false claim in the name of community consensus here. There is no indication on the pages that the event WLFBD or FNFBD is banned on Bangla wiki. Both the events are running successfully and that gives us motivation to run the banner in Bangladesh region irrespective of any Wiki Project like commons/wiki/etc. My sincere request is to keep local disputes on local level. We are here for the successful implementation of the project and request your cooperation. Feel free to have a meeting with us by dropping an email at support wikilovesfolklore.org.

editStructured with both national coordinators and an International Team, the campaign ensures comprehensive coverage. National coordinators, responsible for organizing Wiki Loves Folklore within their respective countries, play a vital role in fostering local participation. Simultaneously, the International Team steps in to organize the contest in countries lacking designated national coordinators, thereby addressing the representation gap within the Wikimedia ecosystem.

edit- @Joris Darlington Quarshie:
- Do you want to request one campaign for all participating countries and another one for all remaining countries again? For the former, it seems that c:Commons:Wiki Loves Folklore 2025/Organize has the most up-to-date list. But what are your expectations? Will many more show up? It would make more sense to create the campaigns when it's more clear.
- Furthermore, do you plan separate campaigns again like the Bangladesh version last year? It would be helpful to have a list of such special campaigns in advance as well.
- Last year, we have kindly asked the organizers to motivate a volunteer to help out with setting up the campaign. Could you find a volunteer CentralNotice admin? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 20:26, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hello @DerHexer,
- Please we require 3 type of banners;
- 1 for signed up countries.
- 1 for all countries but which are not part of signed up countries.
- 1 for anonymous users.
- The list of the organisers is not fully complete since we are still sign up stage. It's start as the list will be completed before 1st February 2025. These are the types of banners we are requesting for at the moment. We have also nominated a volunteer and our technical lead Nokib Sarkar for central notice adminship. If he is selected he can help in the tasks. Link to his nomation can be found here: Meta:Requests for CentralNotice adminship/Nokib Sarkar#Nokib Sarkar. –– Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 17:03, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

- anon campaign and banner (preview)
- Uruguay: CentralNotice/Request/Wiki Fiestas de Uruguay
- Bangladesh: CentralNotice/Request/Wiki Loves Folklore Bangladesh 2025
- Ukraine: CentralNotice/Request/Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 Ukraine
- Brazil: CentralNotice/Request/Wiki Loves Folklore Brazil 2025
- As of now, the anon campaign and non-anon campaigns only slightly differ in amount of display per days/weeks. Do you plan to have different landing pages for these groups? Because in previous years there was no difference for anonymous users. Please updates the accordingly or ping me for that
- Furthermore, please update the list of countries (adding new participating countries to the country campaign and removing them from the non-country campaign) whenever possible and before February at the latest; I can also help with this, please ping me here as well.
- All in all, does this look okay to you? Do you want me to enable the campaigns? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:34, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- @DerHexer, thanks for the work. We will like to request just a change of image for the banners as we are using same images from past few years now. The updated banner is below with the same dimensions and different images. Post image change we are good to go and enable the banners.

- Hi @DerHexer and @Tiven2240 I prepared the WLF campaign for Hungary with all the necessary pages, translations and settings, and I planned to move Hungary from the "non-countries campaign" to the "countries campaign" (I believed that the latter is for the locally participating countries, while the former is for all other countries). But I realized that all three banners (countries, non-countries, anon) point to the same international page, and I couldn't find any practical difference between the codes. If there is a local project for a participating country with a local landing page, why does the banner not link to that page? And why do we have three campaigns for the three identical banners (even though the impression diet is somehow different)? Am I missing something? :) Samat (talk) 18:22, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Samat: Afaics, you don't miss something. I have noted this earlier. However, you can request a separate campaign on CNR as it was done for the campaign of Uruguay (see above), with a separate landing page or whatever needed, and I will mention the separate campaign here as well. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:29, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- @DerHexer I thought this is a problem for all participating countries, but apparently this is not the case. How does the local campaigns work for the other countries? (For example in the category for submissions from Germany there are thousands of images, while in the Hungarian category there is none.) If I click on the banner and I use the setting for Hungarian language surface, I am redirected to the translated international page, but on that page the link to upload an image (which is not obvious to find and not very international with the image with English text) point to the
wlf_2025
campaign and not the local ones (wlf-de
orwlf-hu
). What should I change to make it work for Hungary? (Not necessarily with a separate CN campaign.) Thank you! Samat (talk) 13:40, 5 February 2025 (UTC)- My idea was to change the coded link to a localized one here:
link=//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UploadWizard&campaign=wlf_2025

Hi, @DerHexer, @Joris Darlington Quarshie
For March 2025, we are trying to coordinate 3 (potentially 4) global banners. Two of these banners have local organizers in the countries they will be targeting, the third on is a global call for program submissions for Wikimania.
By having the non-participant banner enabled on for all wikiprojects in all languages all over the world, it feels like Wiki Loves Folklore is claiming banner space that should be available for other campaigns. So again, same request as in 2024 and in 2023: please let's not run repetitive cycles for projects, countries or languages that don't participate - especially no repetitive cycles lasting 2 months. Thanks, Ciell (talk) 17:44, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Ciell,
- I hope you're doing well.
- Please find the list of participating countries here. We understand that multiple banners are scheduled for March, and we are open to a lighter presence in the initial days of the month. However, we kindly request that the banner not be entirely disabled, as its visibility is crucial for the campaign’s outreach.
- Additionally, Wiki Loves Folklore has a global Feminism and Folklore initiative, which holds similar significance to International Women’s Day campaigns. While it is the largest organized event on Wikipedia, involving over 51 language communities, we have intentionally chosen not to run global banners to avoid excessive banner space usage.
- We kindly request you to consider the potential impact on the campaign due to these changes and explore a balanced approach that ensures visibility while addressing space concerns.
- Thank you for your time and consideration. Looking forward to your thoughts. Tiven2240 (talk) 02:15, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Though I understand and appreciate your F&F initiative, the idea behind centralizing one page for all events world-wide around International Women's Day, is that we'll have less banners active and there is a place for everyone to make sure people are aware of what they are organizing, and to not have campaigns on the same topic competing over the Central Notice space. What if we setup a cycle for recurring after 2 weeks, instead of every week? From experience with WLM, we know that most traffic from the banners comes at the start of the CN campaign, and again at the end of the competition. The weeks in the middle in comparison don't create a lot of traffic or uploads. Ciell (talk) 10:10, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hi all,
- Just a quick comment that we have fundraising banners in both Brazil and Italy during the weeks this campaign is up. As usual, this would mean that the WIki Loves Folklore banners will be shown to non logged in users once they have seen all their fundraising banner impressions. We do not show fundraising banners to logged in users. Let me know if there are any questions. Best, JBrungs (WMF) (talk) 06:07, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Since NL received only 2 images through this banner in the past month, I think the banner is ineffective for my country so I have removed this target from the list.
- Per my previous suggestion, I have lowered the overall diet for on-participating countries to once every 2 weeks. Ciell (talk) 09:17, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

edit- @Janbery:
- Shame on the late request! ;P Two kinds of feedback: The text is longer than in many other banners, is that intended? In my mobile preview, the “Zjistit více” button disappeared which removes the call-to-action; I don't think that this is a good solution.
- Anyway, you can find the campaign and banner (preview). Please check everything, approve it and ping me so that I can enable the campaign.
- For the second part of the campaign, please either ping me/the CN admins here or start a new request. We cannot set multiple dates and cannot promise that we don't forget to update the dates. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 10:32, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Janbery: The campaign is supposed to have started but still requires your approval. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:23, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- @DerHexer: Hello, it looks good, thank you! I made the text shorter as you suggested, please see the updated code. Best, janbery (talk) 21:51, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
- Okay, I have enabled the updated version. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:35, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

edit@Johannnes89: could you please check this again? best --Christian Philipp (WMAT) (talk) 10:57, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- 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)
@Johannnes89: @Christian Philipp (WMAT): I have written a notification to the community on de.wikipedia for this banner and also for the second campaign in January (CentralNotice/Request/GLAM digital spring) at Wikipedia:Projektdiskussion. As I am new to this I am not sure how to ask for approval from volunteer CN admins (I could ping some from the list of admins, but I don't know who is active). --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 12:56, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. You can create both the banner as well as the campaign via the CN admin interface. Once you link the created campaign & banner on this page, volunteer CN admins can take a look. If no-one reacts, you can ping one of the active CN admins mentioned at CentralNotice/Request, preferably (or Ciell who is not on the list, but also active and very helpful as well). Johannnes89 (talk) 19:06, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
I have changed the start date of the campaign in January from 1st to 7th, also talked about it with Christian. It's because I am on vacation around new year's eve and have very limited internet access in this time, so it would be difficult to act if there are issues with the banner or the campaign. --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 13:22, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
@Manfred Werner (WMAT): Banner is activated, thanks. There was a problem last year with the banner conflicting with coordinates at the upper right corner of a page (difficult to see, not clickable), which I thought, I have fixed by adding some extra empty space below the banner. But obviously this does not work. Do you have a better idea to fix this? best --Christian Philipp (WMAT) (talk) 10:03, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

editThe campaign settings have been set [12] and the banner created [13]. CN admins, please take a look and let me know if it is alright like this. It's the first time I created a CN. Thank you! --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 15:36, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Martin Urbanec:@Vermont: Hi, as I am new to this and also that kind of CN admin who is here in the role of a representative of an affiliate, I need and would like to ask you to take a look at the two campaigns I have set up - if they are alright (also technically, I am not sure about the close button here) and can be activated. Thank you! --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 17:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Looks good to me. I don't see a close button in the CN interface preview for some reason, but it works in the onwiki preview [14].
- Restarting the banner cycle every week effectively means users will see the banner 12 times which seems a bit much to me. I suggest either limiting it to two impressions per cycle (= 8 total impressions in 3,5 weeks) or extending the cycle a bit, e.g. to 67435200 seconds (1.5 weeks -> 9 total impressions). Johannnes89 (talk) 11:49, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! I have reduced the maximum impressions to two.
- So, I am just asking again because I am new to this, what should be done now? Will someone activate the campaign?
- There is also another one I created that should have begun today, CentralNotice/Request/GLAM digital spring, but is still marked as open. --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 16:46, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've activated the campaign, giving my approval as a volunteer CN admin.
- I suggest trying to ping volunteer CN admins again for the GLAM request (those without ties to WMF or affiliates like WMDE). Perhaps checking the different CN logs [15] helps finding someone active. The backlog at CNR suggests, that most volunteer CN admins are currently busy, but given that it's just about approving the banner + campaign you created, there should be somebody who can spend 5 minutes to do that.

editI have two questions regarding the banner:
- is it possible to only show the banner on, let's say, 5th refresh on the projects? We don't want to spam the users with the banner on every page, if possible; if not, showing on every page is fine.
- this banner is almost definitely not dark mode compatible - can someone help me with that?
Thank you very much, KormiSK (talk) 21:24, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- We already have WMF approval and agreements signed.--Jetam2 (talk) 21:25, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- Impression diet and limiting traffic to proportion of total is possible. Please review the draft which has just been created. Steinsplitter (talk) 15:34, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

editWe'd like to continue the campaign from last year (request). The banner will only be running for two days before the first Wednesday of each month, and will be targeted to users with less than 100 edits.
I can handle the administration of this banner myself, no intervention necessary from other CN admins. :-) Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (talk) 13:12, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
