• Hi RamzyM (WMF). A few things about the campaign/banner settings before I make it:
  • Your request asks this to be run for all logged-in users, but the vast majority of those users are not eligible. We can add some javascript that will limit this to users with more than 300 edits, I'm forgetting whether we can get global edit count or whether we're limited to per-wiki edits. Basically, I'd recommend finding other ways to reach out to people who are not eligible for edit count but may be eligible for the other listed reasons.
  • If you want to run this on Catalan projects (your request indicates all languages), please discuss it with the community and report back whether they have approved. This is indicated in the usage guidelines.
  • How many languages will this banner be translated into before it is running? We like to avoid showing English banners to non-English speakers.
  • Please add your campaign to the CN calendar and requests page. This is steps 3 and 4 of requesting the banner (see the requests page).

Hi Vermont, I've added the campaign to the calendar and requests page.

• Yes, please add the javascript that will limit the banner to users with more than 300 edits across the Wikimedia projects, if possible.
• No, please exclude the Catalan projects.
• We do not budget for a professional translation, since we plan to use a modified version of the U4C charter banner texts (which has been widely translated). We will prioritize calling for volunteer translations into Russian, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Bengali, Farsi, Ukrainian, Czech, Polish, Italian, Turkish, Korean, Indonesian, Thai, Hindi, Swahili, Hausa, and Hungarian.

Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers, RamzyM (WMF) (talk) 14:42, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

@RamzyM (WMF): We can only check the local, not the global count. Still okay? With this number? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 14:35, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Should be fine, thanks DerHexer. RamzyM (WMF) (talk) 22:24, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

• @RamzyM (WMF): I've created the campaign and cloned the banner (the 300+ edit limit was added; preview). Of course, I have changed the English text (and also translated into German and marked it as published), however, there are countless of wrong translations now (statistic) and I don't feel very comfortable to enable the campaign with many mistakes. Usually, we start with a new banner text and ask for translations (some of you provided). How do you intend to solve this? Other than that, we are ready to enable the campaign as long as you approve it (please ping me). Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 19:23, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

  To clarify, @DerHexer: the "wrong" translations now are on the U4C charter vote banner, but there is yet a U4C election vote banner? What we were asking was to have a new banner text (set above) based on the U4C charter vote banners, and that we will use the modified versions of its translations for election banner translations. Does this make sense? Happy to follow up, and thanks a lot for your help :) RamzyM (WMF) (talk) 05:56, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

  @RamzyM (WMF): It was a new election banner, cloned from the charter banner. ;) (I've just forgotten to correct the link.) Anyway, I've created a new banner without any other translations here. You can add new translations here. Please ping me when we can enable the campaign. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 08:44, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

  Hi @DerHexer, apologies for the late reply (I'm in between travels). Please enable the campaign today. Thanks again for your help :) RamzyM (WMF) (talk) 02:19, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

  Enabled. —DerHexer (Talk) 07:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
