Talk:Wikimedia Foundation/Legal/Update to banner and logo policies

Diff post

I have written a post about this initiative on Diff: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/01/24/help-us-collect-examples-of-community-discussions-to-run-banners-or-make-temporary-logo-changes/ --Charles M. Roslof (WMF) (talk) 01:15, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Promotion of for-profit services

Will this also cover banners which are not project-wide protests but promote other kinds of activities or resources? What about sidebar or main page links? For example Facebook pages and Microblogging handles list some projects where links to Twitter or Facebook are heavily promoted. Such links may or may not directly advertise an individual political stance but they do support corporations with a political stance and a purpose different from (if not antithetical to) Wikimedia Foundation's.

@Nemo bis: No, setting policies about what websites can be linked to from the body of wiki pages is not within the scope of this initiative. --Charles M. Roslof (WMF) (talk) 15:33, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Office hour

We have scheduled a time for conversation about this initiative on 4 February, 2025 at 16:00 UTC. You can sign up to attend at Event:Office hour for the banner and logo policy update initiative launch. This office hour is intended for questions and discussion about the initiative generally, as well as the research phase specifically. There will be time for additional conversation later about particular policy changes. --Charles M. Roslof (WMF) (talk) 00:07, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

NL wiki SOPA

Back in 2012, nl.wikipedia decided not to join the global SOPA blackout: w:nl:Wikipedia:De_kroeg/Archief/20120125#Snelpeiling:_Sitenotice_voor_SOPA. Ciell (talk) 16:35, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
