Central Notice admin comments

• @EPorto (WMB): Am I assuming right that you don't use the local SiteNotice because this cannot process CSS as requested? Usually, targeting one project should be handled locally. Furthermore, this was requested as an unusually long campaign, even without a country limitation where I would have expected Brazil only, as far as I can see. Why is this intensive use of CentralNotice needed and what kind of cycles do you have in mind the banners should be shown during that long time? And where was this announced locally? I cannot even find it in your grant request. — Thanks for preparing the banner code which looks good to me. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:19, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

  @EPorto (WMB): The campaign date is getting closer. Can you give us some feedback for my questions, please? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 21:35, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

  Hi, @DerHexer Sorry, My mistake on the duration of the campaign, Our policy is only to ask for a month for the banner, even when the campaign is running for three months. I'm amending the proposal. As far of the announcement, we announced yesterday and at the beginning of the month. The grant request links to our plan of activities, which contains the project, announced and approved in last November. Sorry for not facilitating the link previously.

  For the local SiteNotice, to be honest, I didn't know that that existed and am not sure how to proceed or if it would work?

  Thank you so much for your patience and dedicated work. Cheers, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 22:11, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

• @EPorto (WMB): Indeed, the competition has been announced but not that it will be conducted through a (CentralNotice) banner campaign. Please add a sentence about that (with a link to this page) to the general announcement. When this is done, please check the campaign and banner (preview). Please ping me with your approval so that I can enable the campaign (when it was communicated). Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 17:10, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

  @DerHexer Done. The banner seems to be working fine. Thank you for your work. Cheers, EPorto (WMB) (talk) 03:41, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

  Thanks, I have enabled the campaign. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 10:50, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
