The sixth edition of Wiki Loves Sport (July 17th - September 22th) is organized to improve and extend content related to diversity in sport in the Wikimedia projects, and for this year event it covers in particular:
- Euro Games Vienna (from 17 to 20 July).
- Paris 2024 Olympic games (from 26 July to 11 August).
- Paris 2024 Paralympic games (from 28 August to 8 September).
Given the gaps which is our topic of interest, the campaign is mainly focused on content concerning missing or underrepresented groups in sport (so a special focus on women's sport, LGBTQIA+ communities, para athletics, indigeneous and minorities etc), but as Wikimedians, we appreciate any sports-related content in any language you want to add.
Seeing the affiliate's goal of increasing the diversity, whoever writes +5 articles about female & non-binary athletes and/or binary & non-binary para-athletes, will receive a barnstar and a digital certificate from the main organizer WikiDonne.

- @Wnme: Kurzfristige Anfragen, tsts. Und dann auch noch ohne korrekten Ping. ;)
Ich habe die Kampagne und das Banner angelegt. In der Vorschau siehst du, dass ich die Hintergrundfarbe dem Logo angepasst habe. Passt das so? Oder lieber grauer Hintergrund und das kleine Logo darauf? Schwarze oder weiße Schrift? – Die wikimedia.de-Seite kann verlinkt werden. Wer aber die WikiCon nicht genau kennt und trotzdem drauf klickt, bekommt auf der Seite nicht allzu viele Informationen, worum es überhaupt geht. Bitte auf der geplanten Landingpage noch ein paar Worte zur WikiCon sowie einen Link zu w:de:Wikipedia:WikiCon 2024/Anmeldung ergänzen, dann kann man auch direkt auf die Anmeldung verlinken. Oder lieber alternativ die Onwiki-Seite verwenden? Gern wie gewünscht; kann man auch zwischendrin wechseln. Grüße, Martin Rulsch (WMDE) (talk) 10:34, 18 June 2024 (UTC)- @Martin Rulsch (WMDE) Danke für schnelle Umsetzung und entschuldige die Kurzfristigkeit bitte. Bekommen wir nächstes mal sicher besser hin. 🙂
- Das Design mit dem orangen Hintergrund gefällt uns gut. Die Schrift bitte in weiß (entsprechend zum Styleguide).
- Guter Hinweis mit der Landingpage. Wir wollen ja auch für Programmeeinreichung werben. Denke der Bannertext sollte so kompakt bleiben. Nimm daher bitte den Link zur Projekthauptseite w:de:Wikipedia:WikiCon 2024.
- Kann die Laufzeit einfach auf 14 Tage ab dem nächstmöglichen Starttermin gesetzt werden? Gruß, --Wnme (talk) 18:53, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

- Hallo Ihr zwei! Wie drüben in Mattermost schon geschrieben, hab ich noch ein Querformat von dem Logo gebastelt, das man gut im Banner verwenden könnte.
- Würde auch vorschlagen, den Text weiß, die Typo etwas größer und den Inhalt etwas kürzer zu machen. Wie wäre es mit ""Jetzt anmelden, um vom 4. bis 6. Oktober in Wiesbaden dabei zu sein!"? // Martin Kraft (talk) 20:27, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Wnme and Martin Kraft: Textkürzung, größere (und weiße) Schrift habe ich so übernommen. Mit dem Querlogo werden die transparenten Flächen im Hintergrund halt ebenfalls orange und nicht weiß. Das sieht nicht gut aus. ;) Und ich bastele jetzt nicht noch eine weiße Box ums Logo. Ich kann es jederzeit starten, für 14 Tage oder andere Zeiten laufen lassen. Ab eurem GO. :) Grüße, Martin Rulsch (WMDE) (talk) 09:10, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

@DerHexer and Johannnes89:, can you check & approve, best --Christian Philipp (WMAT) (talk) 10:34, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Christian Philipp (WMAT), ich hab die Kampagne [2] erstellt und das auch mit dem Banner probiert, aber irgendwas läuft da noch nicht korrekt mit dem von euch intendierten Hintergrund. Entweder bin ich gerade zu doof oder euer Code enthält nen Fehler (Banner [3], Vorschau [4]). Ich kann mir das aber frühestens in ein paar Tagen anschauen, jetzt fahr ich gerade zum Zukunftskongress. Vielleicht kann Martin auch helfen, den Fehler zu finden, aber der ist gerade im Urlaub.
- Es ist übrigens bei solchen Anfragen sinnvoll, auf frühere, ähnliche Central Notice requests zu verweisen (z.B. den [5]), das hilft mir u.A. beim Abgleich, dass die Kampagneneinstellungen so gut sind. Im konkreten Fall ließ sich aber durch den Blick auf eure Bannerseite ermitteln, dass es frühere Kampagnen gibt, die ich mir mal anschauen könnte. :) --Johannnes89 (talk) 11:24, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Central Notice admin comments[edit]
- @Pyb, Luc Hervier WMFr, and VIGNERON: I've created the campaign and banner (preview). I'm a little bit confused by the long campaign duration; usually we only approve campaigns for two to four weeks. In the banner text, I can also read about the contest time between 15 August and 27 September—why is it necessary to start the campaign on 1 July? I've reduced the diet to 5 displays every two weeks at max. Please clarify, take a look at everything and ping me for activation. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 09:48, 9 May 2024 (UTC) PS: Nice to see that you my massmail system was mentioned in one of the PDFs. There is another new tool available now, maybe take a look at this one too.
- @DerHexer: yes, the campaign for the banner is long because the contest is long. We also would like to let people know in advance ; especially as with summer vacation the traffic is a bit lower and also to give the opportunity for people to take pictures in advance (some events that are in the scope of the contest happens only during summer).
- Displaying it less often could be a solution, maybe we can also start a bit later (July 15 for instance ?) and ends a bit earlier (20 September) and increase a bit the diet?
- Feel free to ask all the questions you need. Cheers, VIGNERON * discut. 10:39, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with DerHexer that such a long campaign period is not ideal – especially as the campaign targets both logged in users and readers (who cannot opt out of banners). Running it with a reduced diet might be ok though. Note that per CentralNotice/Usage guidelines#Campaign implementation long campaigns usually require community consensus. Johannnes89 (talk) 11:02, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- @VIGNERON: I've changed the duration accordingly. Are you okay with the white background? I had to change it because the white background of the logo didn't look good on the general grey background of the banner. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:31, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- @DerHexer: perfect, thanks! Cheers, VIGNERON * discut. 13:29, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I've enabled the campaign. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:15, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

The overall design could mirror that of the Mais Povos originários banner, which looked great! There are just a few changes:
Instead of the logo, we'd like to use an image of the wikicontest's prizes, which you can find here. Do you think it's possible? Additionally, the background color should be changed to #B984AA.
Text1: Participe do Concurso de Edição Mais Mulheres em Teoria da História na Wiki, entre os dias 27 de junho e 25 de julho de 2024, e contribua para fechar lacunas de gênero. Font: Open Sans Light, size 24, black.
Text2: Inscreva-se aqui. Font: Open Sans Light, size 29, white. For the box, the color is #E34B81.
Thanks a lot for the help! If you have any doubts, please contact me.

Discussion[edit]
@Bruna Grando (Projeto Mais+) I've created the campaign [8] and the banner [9] (preview [10]). As you can see the requested font size is way too large (and/or it's too much text). The problem gets worse if the banner is displayed on mobile devices. Using an image that doesn't take so much space (e.g. square shaped) would probably help as well. --Johannnes89 (talk) 14:41, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- Olá,@Johannnes89:. Thank you for your feedback, but for some reason I can't see the preview. Can you check, please?--Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 09:54, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+) perhaps try this one [11]? --Johannnes89 (talk) 16:55, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Johannnes89:. Can you make the letters smaller so we can see them better? I think maybe size 22 for the larger text and 27 for “Inscreva-se” might work. Please feel free to make them smaller if you see the need. Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 14:50, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+) and Bruna Grando (Projeto Mais+): that doesn't help much. It's ok when changed to 19px for both the larger text & button text [12], but still pretty bad if you open the banner on mobile [13] (and the majority of readers uses mobile devices). The banner text should contain less characters and/or the text size should be reduced even more (like your banner from 2022 [14]). Alternatively you should consider using an image that doesn't take as much space (e.g. like this banner [15]) which would allow for more text to be used. --Johannnes89 (talk) 15:52, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Johannnes89:. If you shorten the sentence to: “Participe do Concurso de Edição Mais Mulheres em Teoria da História na Wiki e contribua para fechar lacunas!” is that better? I think that should solve the problem. Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 16:37, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Should be ok (preview [16], mobile version [17]). Mobile version is not ideal yet (depending on the device) but probably acceptable. --Johannnes89 (talk) 10:58, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Johannnes89:! I think it's good now. I've made a small change to the request by changing the Landing Page link to the event page in Meta. Can you make this adjustment? Thanks again for all your help! Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 15:34, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+): done [18]. I assume we can basically take the same banner for CentralNotice/Request/Mais Diversidade em Teoria da História na Wiki/2024? Please check the second banner request if you can provide a shorter sentence for the first line of text, just like you shortened it for this banner as well. --Johannnes89 (talk) 17:38, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Johannnes89:. Perfect! Yes, we can use the same logic for Mais Diversidade. I'll get back to you soon. Thank you very much! Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 18:11, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

- Hello, @Johannnes89:. Can you make the letters smaller so we can see them better? I think maybe size 22 for the larger text and 27 for “Inscreva-se” might work. Please feel free to make them smaller if you see the need. Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 14:50, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+) perhaps try this one [11]? --Johannnes89 (talk) 16:55, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

What banner(s) will you use? What will be your landing page?[edit]
The overall design could mirror that of the Mais Povos originários banner, which looked great! There are just a few changes:
Instead of the logo, we'd like to use an image of the wikicontest's prizes, which you can find here. Do you think it's possible? Additionally, the background color should be changed to #8153D6.
Text1: Participe do Concurso de Edição Mais Diversidade em Teoria da História na Wiki, entre os dias 11 de outubro e 11 de novembro de 2024, e contribua para visibilizar conhecimentos dissidentes. Font: Open Sans Light, size 24, black.
Text2: Inscreva-se aqui. Font: Open Sans Light, size 29, white. For the box, the color is #5ED5ED.
As you probably noticed, the instructions are pretty similar to the Mais Mulheres' banner, just different background colors, image and text. Maybe using that one as reference when it's done would make the work easier! Again, thanks a lot for the help! If you have any doubts, please contact me.

See CentralNotice/Request/Mais Mulheres em Teoria da História na Wiki/2024#Discussion, the requested font size / amount of text / image size is likely too large for this request as well. --Johannnes89 (talk) 14:44, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Johannnes89:. Can we shorten the main sentence to “Participe do Concurso de Edição Mais Diversidade em Teoria da História na Wiki e contribua para visibilizar conhecimentos dissidentes.” What do you think? I'd like to point out that we're also going to include a MetaWiki landing page in this banner, but we haven't created the page yet. I'll post it here soon. Thanks in advance. Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 18:15, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Danielly Figueredo (Projeto Mais+): yes of course we can change the landing page link at a later point. I've created the campaign [19] and the preliminary banner [20] (Preview [21]). Please review everything to make sure it's alright. Looking at the mobile version [22] on a smartphone I think this banner should use less text. --Johannnes89 (talk) 06:25, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Discussion[edit]
@DerHexer:, @Johannnes89: and @Martin Urbanec: I'm very sorry to request this banner on such short notice, but we need to give as much notice as possible. We already announced it in the community spaces of Wikipedia in Portuguese and Wikipedia in Spanish. Any questions or comments, I remain at your service. Thank you very much, --Paula (WDU) (talk) 00:55, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Paula (WDU): We need a complete list with Spanish-language countries which will be taken to the Spanish landing page and a complete list with Portuguese-language countries which lead to the Portuguese landing page. It likely makes most sense to create two campaigns instead of trying some JavaScript tricks within one banner. Thanks, —DerHexer (Talk) 10:26, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- @DerHexer: thanks for your answer. Here are the Spanish speaking countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and Venezuela. I'll request another banner to be displayed in the Portuguese-speaking countries. In the meantime, could you please enable this campaign? Thanks again. Paula (WDU) (talk) 14:24, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- @DerHexer: I've edited this request to be only one campaign in one language. If you can enable it as soon as you can, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Best, Paula (WDU) (talk) 14:42, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

This year, the theme is Educate Africa: Nurturing Minds for the 21st Century, is in line with this year’s African Union Day theme and is also a part of the African Union’s Agenda 2063. The African Union, under the Agenda 2063 seeks to create revitalized, high-quality, and unified educational systems that meet the needs of Africa, generate acceptable attitudes, values, knowledge, and skills, and support the continent's participation in the international economy of knowledge. With the Africa Wiki Challenge 2024, our objective is to call attention to and recognize the diverse educational perspectives in Africa, encouraging the sharing of information and expertise through engaging content contributions.

Central Notice admin comments[edit]
- @Kaffzz: Thank you for your CentralNotice request. Unfortunately, you seem to have missed adding significant information to the request (targeted Wiki projects, languages, countries, anonymous/registered users, etc.). Please complete your request so that we can give better feedback. Some general remarks:
- Translations: Campaigns can only be displayed in projects and languages where banner and landing page have the respective translations. Your banner is English only so far.
- Community involvement: For that reason we recommend to reach out early to local communities for their approval to be included into the campaign (see Wikimedia projects for easier access to village pumps). We also recommend ambassadors to local wikis as in other global campaigns.
- Banners: We CentralNotice administrators cannot use GIFs for creating the banners, we need HTML/CSS/JavaScript versions (including cookie-based close buttons). Besides the fact that they wouldn't be usable in mobile campaigns (and I assume that you also want to target mobile users, as a majority uses these devices). Furthermore, we will not display banners with such wild movement of elements that could be misunderstood as ads. Please reduce the noise in the design.
- Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:21, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @DerHexer, thank you for your response. I appreciate the feedback.
- The other part of the information section skipped me. Thank you for the prompt. However, I have filled in all the details now.
- Translations: For now, we would prefer the banner to be only in English. We seek to translate it into French as well but for the sake of time, just English is fine.
- Community involvement: Well noted, we have started reaching out.
- Banners: Well noted, I have switched the design totally to something simpler. Also, it is no longer in GIF form. Kindly let me know if this okay.
- Best Regards Kaffzz (talk) 17:35, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Kaffzz: Thanks for some clarifications! :) Some more remarks:
- Unfortunately, you haven't said if you want to target “Logged In Users” and/or “Anonymous Users” I read “Banner can be showed” which I don't understand.
- You want to target English and French projects but your banner is English only. We can only enable the campaign for those languages available in the banner and landing page (which is English-only as well right now).
- Take a look at the preview of the banner. Other than recommended, you didn't provide HTML/CSS/JavaScript but a new GIF. It is technically possible to display the banner but it really doesn't look good. On mobile devices the banner is much too wide. We could only enable it on desktop devices. What do you think about this?
- If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask me. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 19:09, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Dexter,
- Thank you for your response.
- The banner can be displayed to both Logged In Users and Anonymous Users.
- Also, the banner targets only the English projects.
- The new banner is in an image format and not a GIF Format. I redesigned the banner like you recommended and changed it from a GIF format. Also, it is quite difficult to design it in HTML/CSS/JAVAScript from my end, I will appreciate it if you have a look at the current image display as I have resized it to be more appealing.
- Looking forward to your support and help. Kaffzz (talk) 19:09, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Kaffzz, using an image which includes text still leads to the same problem: Depending on your screen size and device it will look very bad for some people, especially on mobile devices, because your image cannot adapt to different screen sizes.
- If you want such a complex banner you will need to design it using HTML/CSS/JavaScript. If that's not possible we can create a simple banner for you, using an icon/logo/small image + some text separately, e.g. like this [23][24].
- If you want us to create such a simple banner, we would need to know:
- icon
- background colour
- 1-2 short lines of text
- --Johannnes89 (talk) 07:19, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you @Johannnes89
- A simple banner will do.
- icon - File:AFRICA WIKI CHALLENGE LOGO.svg (left corner) File:OFWA New Logo Resized.png (right corner)
- background colour - #FFA500
- 1-2 short lines of text - Join the Africa Wiki Challenge, 2024. Theme: Educate Africa: Nurturing Minds for the 21st Century
- Thank you for your response and I'm looking forward to the banner. Kaffzz (talk) 09:49, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Kaffzz I've created the campaign [25] and the banner [26] (preview [27], mobile preview [28]).
- Please check the campaign settings if everything is alright – especially if I targeted the correct countries. I had to choose manually from a long list of alphabetically ordered countries, so there's a risk I've missed some or perhaps misclicked... And please check if the banner preview is displayed correctly on your device. Johannnes89 (talk) 12:26, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much @Johannnes89, this is perfect however I'll like to add the timeline of the campaign as well since it is currently in session and change the color code. Everything else works.
- Timeline- May 25th to 30th June, 2024
- Color Code- #F2F1EB
- Thank you once again for your assistance. Kaffzz (talk) 14:17, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Kaffzz it should rather be less text than more. While it looks ok on desktop [29], it doesn't on mobile devices [30]. Usually there should be no more than 2 lines with no more than 50-70 characters each (preferably less). Johannnes89 (talk) 22:32, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Alright that's fine. We can go ahead and publish it. Thank You @Johannnes89 Kaffzz (talk) 18:04, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Central Notice admin comments[edit]
I can help, BUT since this is a request for a local campaign (only for Spanish Wikipedia), a local Mediawiki:Sitenotice would be more suitable than a CentralNotice, and the advantage is that Sitenotices are controlled by your local admins on the Spanish Wikipedia - no need for coordination through Meta! See here and here for a more information. Ciell (talk) 13:19, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- What I don't understand is that since 2015 it has been an inactive page on Wikipedia in Spanish, and many local campaigns have happened, and now you're telling us to do it through sitenotice? This scenario is much more complicated, because there is no guide on how to do it on eswiki. I feel like we are not being helped... MiguelAlanCS (talk) 14:04, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- We need help here @Vermont:, @MarcoAurelio: MiguelAlanCS (talk) 14:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @MiguelAlanCS,
- no need to panic please, it's not June 1st yet.
- You mention this banner has been run through CN/Meta several years now, but I can't find similar requests in the archives. It would be helpful if you can link me one of the previous requests, so I can have a look at how it was setup back then. In general, I am not the best CN admin to ask for 'creative' banners like this one, but maybe I can copy-cat something from previous editions.
- And I do not mean to turn your request down, it's just that I am getting concerns here on Meta from you and also via Telegram, while actually the Mediawiki-interface allows local admins (=56 admins on eswp) to create and run a banner on your local wiki, which is often way easier than having to coordinate through Meta, and depending on a small bunch of Meta volunteers' availability. Ciell (talk) 15:37, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Es nuestra primera petición. Y parece que resulta muy difícil cuando las peticiones de otros grupos son rápidamente atendidas. No sé por qué nuestra solicitud es tan complicada. Lo intentaremos de forma local, ya que veo poca colaboración por aquí. Es muy frustrante. (It is our first request. And it seems to be very difficult when the requests of other groups are quickly attended to. I don't know why our application is so complicated. We will try it locally, since I see little collaboration here. It's very frustrating.) MiguelAlanCS (talk) 15:50, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi!, the issue is that the MediaWiki:Sitenotice on Wikipedia in Spanish has been in disuse since in eswiki because there is a belief that centralnotice conflicts with our sitenotice. If you confirm this is not the case, we can ask an admin to activate it. Could you point to code/set up they might use as example, please? LuisCG11 (talk) 16:24, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

- Sorry to read your frustration @MiguelAlanCS - again, I can help if you'd like me to. The thing is, that images don't scale well in the CentralNotice so I'll need a 'bare' design to set up the banner. More information about this is in the CN FAQ here: CentralNotice/FAQ#Requesting_a_Central_Notice_banner_on_Meta and the following section CentralNotice/FAQ#Which_information_will_I_need_to_provide?. Banner are not simply wikicode, but need a decent HTML/CSS design, and this means that either the banner has to be designed by a fellow Wikimedian, or any CN admin that has time to attend to your request. I am again very sorry to disappoint.
- @LuisCG11 when there is a CN banner active, the Sitenotice will be shown underneath it. It is visually not that great, but they technically don't interfere with anything. Most CN banners are turned on with a 'diet' (limiting the number of times you see them) while a Sitenotice just runs until an admin turns it off again. Mediawiki manual for site notice is here, and the sitenotice is set up in wiki-code. Have a look through the version in the sitenotice' history for some examples. To push a new Sitenotice to be visible, simply increase the Sitenotice id by one point and all that have closed the sitenotice in the past will see it again. Same goes for es:wp:MediaWiki:Anonnotice, but for not-logged in users. When this one is empty, it will show the content of the sitenotice (if any), so be aware.
- Looking at their contributions, several of the admins in the history of the pages are still active and I am sure they can lend you a quick hand.
- Now, getting back to this banner:
- Again, I can set this up for you, but single image banners don't scale on mobile and other devices, so let's not do that to avoid angry Wikimedians. Please allow me to create a simple but decent banner for you, and for this I would need: 1) a single image (with not to many complicated lines, will be shown at 55px), 2) one or two lines of text (max 50-70 characters), and 3) the landing page. Ciell (talk) 16:54, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Since I was pinged, I'd also add for future awareness that the text should be actual text, not part of an image. Otherwise screen readers would have difficulty parsing it (and wouldn't be translatable if it's for more than one language).
- Agreed that the line of flags is an issue - on mobile, something that wide really wouldn't scale well. Maybe pick two pairs of flags, and have one on the left of the text and the other on the right (and text in between)?
- Imo, a CentralNotice banner is fine - SiteNotice is old and mostly unused across projects, and though it's technically easier for local admins to setup, it doesn't have a lot of the customizability and targeting that CN does. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 17:06, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, @Ciell and @Vermont. First of all, thank you for taking the time to review the request. I designed the banner together with @ElleAnónime and I have a few comments to make as to how we thought it should be displayed. The idea is not that the svg image above would take the whole width of the banner. It should be placed in the middle, and the width could be easily be made reliably responsive, for example, through the use of the
min()
function as inwidth: min(1000px, 95%);
, or through the use of themax-width
property as inmax-width: 1000px; width: 95%;
. This, way, it wouldn't be overstretched in bigger screens and it would take the whole width (with some margin) in phone screens. The image can be easily centered within the banner by usingmargin-inline: auto;
or by making the parent element a flexbox and using thejustify-content
property. Sorry that I wrote it down here but I am unable to preview banners, which makes it difficult to work with. As to the text being part of an image, wouldn't screen readers be able to interpret it through thealt
attribute? If you still think the image is inadequate after my explanation above, please ping me and I will work on a simpler solution as you suggested. Again, thanks for your time. Nacaru· Talk ✉ 21:23, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Nacaru,
- Because CentralNotice is a very powerful tool I am personally hesitant to try out things, especially in a short time frame like this. Maybe @Vermont would be open to try? Ciell (talk) 02:18, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Nacaru,
- Out of the interest of time, I created this one that can go live tomorrow. I can change the text, either of the two images, or the background colour if you'd prefer to have them different: I could not find the source for the different flags you used in your image, and just randomly picked a colour from your landing page to make the banner stand out more. Happy to change to what you prefer. Ciell (talk) 09:13, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks for the update; just ping me when you are ready for me to update the banner. Ciell (talk) 11:06, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, again, @Ciell (also pinging @Vermont just in case). Thanks for offering a solution. Sorry for the delay, we've been discussing and crafting a new banner. In the end, we've decided we would like to follow the structure you suggested, but having this image on the left and this other one (please use the 200x240 pixels resolution as it's lighter, it's the one on the link) on the right. However, I have noticed that, in the preview of your suggestion, the images can look a bit stretched. In order to avoid this and respect the aspect-ratio, the declaration
object-fit: contain;
must be applied to bothimg
elements. Additionally, if you could make the width responsive by applying thewidth: min(1000px, 95%);
andmargin-inline: auto;
to the parent element (the element with anid
ofcnotice-main
), the elements inside it would appear closer together in wider screens. I have uploaded two examples to show you what it would look like: here and here. However, if you don't feel comfortable applying the latter, I would understand; but please give priority to making sure the aspect-ratio of the images is adequate. I will be paying attention to notifications throughout the day so please let me know through ping if you need any additional feedback or help. Nacaru· Talk ✉ 15:03, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

- It helps to have square images as well. ;-)
- Great, let me set up the campaign now. Ciell (talk) 18:46, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Nacaru the campaign for logged in users is now here, and the banner code is here btw. I am trying to be mindful that, according to the Banner calendar (please add your campaign there!), the annual fundraiser banners will go live in Spain in three days, and there is a community survey banner up for Mexico in the same period as you are requesting. The logged in campaign will show 5 times/3 days, a separate campaign for not-logged in users will show 2 times/5 days. The latter has Spain included for now, but I'll need to remove that somewhere this weekend to allow room for the fundraiser banner, as fundraiser banners have priority.
- Please check, and if all is okay, I can enable them both to go live at midnight UTC. Ciell (talk) 19:14, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @Ciell! I worked on the first banner along with @Nacaru and I have a couple questions. In which countries will our banner be shown? And would it be possible to show it during the whole month of June? That's the period our contest will be active. Thank you for your time and help with the whole process! ElleAnónime (talk) 19:23, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @ElleAnónime, you can see in the campaigns I have linked in my comment above which countries they will target (campaign=technical settings, banner=visual presentation). The banner for logged-in is world-wide, for all logged-in users that visit Wikipedia and have Spanish as their preferred language setting. The second one for anon/not logged-in users is only shown to visitors from the Ibero-American countries (the way they are mentioned in the details from this request, way in the top of this page), who visit Wikipedia and have Spanish as their preferred language setting.
- As to your second question, stretching the banner period to the end of June: I think yes for the logged-in banner, I would not like to do this with the anon-banner. We need this banner space to be empty more often, to have a good effect of our fundraiser banners (also see: en:Banner blindness).
- Does that make sense to you? Ciell (talk) 19:37, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for taking the time to explain it!! This is the very first time we've done something like this. Showing it until the end of June just for logged-in users would be great, thank you!! ElleAnónime (talk) 20:08, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Always happy to help!!
