What is the purpose of the campaign? How will you measure the success of the campaign?
[edit]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) and other.
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.
What banner(s) will you use? What will be your landing page?

[edit]Central Notice admin comments
[edit]- @Camelia.boban: This request has some flaws:
- Usually, a variation of the standard banner is preferable. See this how-to how to request it. We cannot make good use of full banner GIFs because they either look too small on the desktop or too big for mobile. It's technically much trickier to use different language files instead of texts. I tried my best to find an acceptable version.
- The SVGs have white borders which can be seen on the same-colored background.
- I don't understand the purpose of the slogans. Do you want to add them somewhere to the SVGs? Why are they not part of the file? Do you have a mockup how it should look like? I didn't include them right now.
- Usually, we ask notifications to local village pumps that a campaign will take place. However, since this project seems to be established, this isn't necessary anymore.
- Why is tt (tatar) requested as target language? I didn't include this one because there was no information about it.
- I have created the campaign and banner. Please check the preview (English, Italian) and let me know about it. It would really be helpful to fix the borders of the versions before we enable the campaign. I assume that other variations of the banner will not be available in time. Please ping me how to proceed and when you approve it. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 21:48, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @DerHexer, it is very important to have the banner in French too, as three/four affiliates which signed for participation have this language as the official one. About the purpose of the slogan: it was for having a kinda call to action outside the banner static image that can be translated in different languages. It is hard to do this variation the day before the campaign starts, I will try to do my best at least to remove the banner's white border. Thank you, Camelia (talk) 08:40, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Camelia.boban: The banners were also created for French and Serbian as requested. Apologies that this wasn't clear when I was giving the examples in English and Italian. Looking forward to the removal of the white borders. I don't think that I will find a good place myself where to put the slogan. I neither fits under the image nor at its side (not working on mobile). Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 08:49, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @DerHexer! tt is meant to be shown in Tatar Wikipedia. I can help with localization now (Вики спортны ярата 2024 / 17 июль - 22 сентябрь). Global landing page is translatable, so please link it to Wiki Loves Sport 2024/tt - I will start translating now and our local organizer will complete it later whenever the banner's up. FYI only: Traditionally, we've been using Sitenotice link to our multi-year page @ tt:Википедия:Бәйгеләр/Вики спортны ярата. Regards, Frhdkazan (talk) 14:04, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Frhdkazan: I know ttwiki. ;) However, neither a country where it would be displayed was requested as target, as far as I can see, nor an SVG for the banner was created. Your translation of the banner text is helpful but has to be copied to a new version of the SVG (I'm not an expert in this). Then I can arrange the banner also to show up in ttwiki. Thanks as well for the translation of the landing page! Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 14:33, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- @DerHexer: ttwiki's greatest potential audience is in Russia, but around 20-25% global - in Central Asia (mainly) + Turkey + UAE + Germany + USA + Canada + Finland + Australia ... Good to let these diasporas see ttWP community is active in international contests as well.
- As for the CentralNotice: we believe @Camelia.boban & WikiDonne are doing a great job, so happy to support their activities with a standard banner, whenever it's ready. Thanks to you as well. Frhdkazan (talk) 15:02, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you both @DerHexer & @Frhdkazan, graphic design it's not my cup of tea :-D. I removed the white borders from the banners. Camelia (talk) 17:26, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Camelia.boban and Frhdkazan: I have enabled the campaign, but without an SVG for ttwiki I cannot run the campaign there (I would limit it to Russia, China and Poland at first). Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 18:44, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- @DerHexer: Here it is, the banner in svg for Tatar WP. Camelia (talk) 19:00, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, enabled for ttwiki as well. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 19:22, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

- @DerHexer The banner link appears to point to wrong page (Commons:Wiki Loves Folklore 2024 instead of Wiki Loves Sport 2024). Please fix. OhanaUnitedTalk page 00:57, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Fortunately, it was only the English version. It is fixed now. Thanks for the ping. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 05:59, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- @DerHexer: Any issue why it is not visible on the Italian Wikipedia? Update: never mind, sorry, maybe was the cache, changing the browser, now I can see it, thank you. Camelia (talk) 07:55, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

- @DerHexer @Camelia.boban The banner that was created looks off-center and/or wrong size. Screenshot here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F56871300 (taken on English Wikipedia). Matma Rex (talk) 13:29, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Matma Rex: That's what I with my limited HTML/CSS/JS knowledge I could provide with the input I had (an image); please read the discussion above. No other CN admins seem to be around to enable that campaign at all (help is much appreciated here as well). Hence, if you have a fix, I will try to implement it. :) Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:33, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've disabled the campaign to work on this. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 14:16, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- DerHexer, the image in the banner (which also includes all of the text) had "margin-left: 15%;" set. I edited it to set left and right margins to auto, which centers it. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 14:30, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Matma Rex & @Vermont Thank you for your help. Camelia (talk) 14:35, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Re-enabled, but I'd note that this banner is not compatible with dark mode or with screen readers. We shouldn't be using svgs as a replacement for text. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 14:48, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
