What is the purpose of the campaign? How will you measure the success of the campaign?

Description - WMDE offers editors of Wikipedia a range of support. This includes but is not limited to trainings, funding for their own projects, organising of events and so on. This support is not known by quite a few volunteers of the German Wikipedia. With this campaign, we want to make people aware of the WMDE community portal. The community portal presents the different aspects of Wikimedia Deutschland's work

Depending on the targeting, users receive a different landing page. The banner, which is aimed at inexperienced users, refers to learning offers from both WMDE and the community. The banner for experienced users refers to a page in the community portal that presents the various training courses.

Metrics -

We hope that the WMDE Community Portal site will become more popular. It is therefore of interest to us that the “News” page in the portal in particular is observed by more users.We will also track whether the campaign has a (positive) influence on the editing behavior of users who we refer to as occasional editors. The tracking is secured by our in-house data unit.

What banner(s) will you use? What will be your landing page?

Banners - The banners have already been created and implemented. Our own CN Admins can start the campaign if the campaign has been green lit by a volunteer admin:

Discussion

The campaign will be announced on the German Wikipedia in the course of next week. This will also allow the community to submit objections or communicate requests for changes. The link to the communication will then be added here.

We are also planning to repeat the campaign in August. The planned period is 11 - 18.08.2025. --Merle von Wittich (WMDE) (talk) 15:04, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

The campaign was announced in WP:Kurier. More information was posted (and linked from Kurier) in Community–Portal Merle von Wittich (WMDE) (talk) 12:56, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Ciell,

would you mind looking over this CN application? Ideally, neither Johannes89 nor theHexer will be involved in this request, as it means mixing their roles as volunteers and employees. Thank you! Merle von Wittich (WMDE) (talk) 11:32, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Merle von Wittich (WMDE), just to let you know I have your request on my radar. I hope to get to it this week! Ciell (talk) 19:44, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Merle von Wittich (WMDE), am I observing correctly you designed these two banners (linked above), but did not yet create the campaign(s)? Do you expect me to do that? Ciell (talk) 15:45, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Ping @Merle von Wittich (WMDE)? Ciell (talk) 16:06, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Normally our FunTech Team can create those campaigns – I only need the approval of the campaign. Is this fine with you or would you prefer a different proceeding? Merle von Wittich (WMDE) (talk) 17:04, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

All affiliates need a volunteer CN admin (like me), to sign off on their CentralNotice camapigns. A CentralNotice is the banner (front-end visual) + the campaign (technical settings): therefore, if your FunTech Team is going to create the campaigns themselves, I'd like to see the campaign and the technical settings before you enable.
