Description - We plan to distribute a survey to capture the challenges faced by new Toolforge users during their tools' set up process. Users with this profile are not active in (or generally haven't joined yet) public communication channels or mailing lists, and we don't have express permission from them to be contacted. If CN admins could recommend a more suitable communication channel, we'll of course evaluate the option.

The survey will help us gather initial feedback about these users' experience, and recruit them for future in-depth interviews to validate a UI-based solution we've been working on. All in all, the goal is to collect insights to inform the design requirements of a proof of concept (Phabricator task: T381266)

Metrics - We'd like to get at least 10 valid responses to the survey and recruit a minimum of 5 participants from the same target group to participate in future usability testing sessions.

Google forms can't be a landing page for a banner. Per CentralNotice/Usage_guidelines#Banner_requirements, "Wikimedia Domains Only — Banners must link only to Wikimedia Foundation or Affiliate-controlled websites, except when using officially approved surveys (see below). They should not include trademarks owned by for-profit entities." Also, please reach out to your colleague's at the Foundation to agree on the usage of CN for survey's.

Non-fundraising campaigns need to be checked, approved and activated by volunteer CN admins, too. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 23:41, 3 December 2024 (UTC) PS: The request template should be filled at some point.[reply]
Thanks for the helpful comments! The request was updated: I added further details regarding our goals and reflected latest decisions (e.g., use of LimeSurvey, change in campaign dates). Conversations with CN coordinators and survey specialists are taking place internally to validate the request or – in lack of approval – find suggestions for alternative channels aligned with our limitations. SSanchez-WMF (talk) 21:28, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Once your CN coordinators have created both the banner as well as the campaign in line with the mentioned guidelines, volunteer CN admins can take a look. The campaign duration looks reasonable and WWikitech is a project which rarely receives banners, so once we hear that the survey itself has been approved, we should be able to give our approval as volunteer CN admins as well.
@TAndic (WMF) fyi, I think the ping probably didn't reach you. Johannnes89 (talk) 18:57, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Johannnes89 and all for helping to guide this! I'll be working with @SSanchez-WMF to help on the survey side, and I agree this seems like a good candidate for a wikitech banner after discussing off-wiki with Sarai :). I assume this request may stay open into January as the team works to get all the components together (in case it's affecting the CN admins' workflows, no action needed for now). - TAndic (WMF) (talk) 19:51, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johannnes89: could you please check this again? best --Christian Philipp (WMAT) (talk) 10:57, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

The campaign settings have been set [1] and the banner created [2]. 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)[reply]

@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)[reply]
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 [3].
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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 [4] 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.

  • @Adoscam: Thank you for submitting your request. Before we can progress it, we need additional information because the request template was not completely filled.
    • From looking at the landing, this doesn't look like a campaign for improving articles but for organizing events. Is that correct?
    • You didn't mention the target language(s). French only?
    • Country would be France only, not French nor French-language countries, right?
    • The link to the banner is not very clear to me. Do you mean this banner code? It's made in Wiki code but we need it in HTML/CSS/JavaScript; however, I think that I am capable of converting it.
    • Lastly, you are requesting a campaign of more than 14 days duration. Please note that according to the new CentralNotice guidelines these campaigns require community communication. Please link to a notification of the French community where you also link to this request.

    @Adoscam: Small reminder of my questions. :) Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 12:55, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello@DerHexer. My apologies for the delay in responding. I was less on site these few days.
    • Yes it is not a campaign. But rather a call for participation before the campaign which starts in March 2025.
    • Yes the language is mainly French. If we can add other languages ​​to allow other communities of other language versions to see, that would be a good thing. It is up to *you to see what would be more effective.
    • As for the countries it is France and all the others the French-speaking countries, since it is the French-speaking world that we are talking about.
    • As for the banner yes you can help us in this direction to convert it.
    • As for the number of days, we prefer 14 days to avoid banner fatigue
    • If you have other questions, I remain available. Sincerely.
      • Once again my apologies for the delay in responding.
    Adoscam (talk) 15:05, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Adoscam: Thanks for the clarifications. I have created the campaign and banner (preview). Please check everything, approve it and and ping me so that I can enable the campaign. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:17, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description - Wiki Loves Folklore, an annual international photography contest hosted on Wikimedia Commons from February 1st to March 31st, serves as a global initiative to amass a diverse collection of media. The primary objective is to contribute content to Wikipedia and other online platforms, all under free licenses. The contest focuses on capturing and showcasing unique images that represent and document the intangible cultural heritage of various communities worldwide.

Structured 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.

Thanks for submitting the request so early! I don't see an issue with volunteer CentralNotice admin approval as required by CentralNotice/Usage guidelines#Policies for Affiliates and WMF Staff. I want to point out though (as mentioned last time [5]), that I would expect WMDE CentralNotice admins to create both campaign and banner, instead of relying on volunteers (which is also what the CentralNotice guidelines ask for). Best --Johannnes89 (talk) 17:59, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Johannes89, I am working on it. Christoph Jackel (WMDE) 10:29, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johannnes89:, @Christoph Jackel (WMDE): This is a joint program of WMDE and WMAT, so I will handle the camapign and banner. I have written a notification to the community on de.wikipedia for this banner and also for the second campaign in January, CentralNotice/Request/wikidaheim2025, at Wikipedia:Projektdiskussion. As written there, I am new to this and I am not sure how to ask for approval from volunteer CN admins. --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 13:00, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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 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)[reply]

The campaign settings have been done [6] and the banner created [7]. CN admins, please take a look and let me know if it is alright like this. Thank you! --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 14:32, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@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) and can be activated. Thank you! --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 17:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pharos: Hi, I am pinging you because I saw that you've been active as a central notice admin recently. Do you have the time to take a look at this banner request and activate it? The settings have been prepared to the best of my knowledge and it would be great if it were active by now. Your help would be very appereciated! --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 15:04, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Samat: @Romaine: Hi, in short, you can also read it above: This is one of the two first CNs I am involved in as a new CN administrator. As I am an employee of an affiliate the campaigns (the other one is activated already) need to be checked and activated by a volunteer admin. Could you please take a look if you find the time and do this? Thank you! --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 10:59, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I 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?

We'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)[reply]
