Description - We plan to distribute a survey to capture the challenges faced by new Toolforge users during their tools' set up process. Users with this profile are not active in (or generally haven't joined yet) public communication channels or mailing lists, and we don't have express permission from them to be contacted. If CN admins could recommend a more suitable communication channel, we'll of course evaluate the option.
The survey will help us gather initial feedback about these users' experience, and recruit them for future in-depth interviews to validate a UI-based solution we've been working on. All in all, the goal is to collect insights to inform the design requirements of a proof of concept (Phabricator task: T381266)
Metrics - We'd like to get at least 10 valid responses to the survey and recruit a minimum of 5 participants from the same target group to participate in future usability testing sessions.
Google forms can't be a landing page for a banner. Per CentralNotice/Usage_guidelines#Banner_requirements, "Wikimedia Domains Only — Banners must link only to Wikimedia Foundation or Affiliate-controlled websites, except when using officially approved surveys (see below). They should not include trademarks owned by for-profit entities." Also, please reach out to your colleague's at the Foundation to agree on the usage of CN for survey's. Ciell (talk) 20:37, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Non-fundraising campaigns need to be checked, approved and activated by volunteer CN admins, too. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)23:41, 3 December 2024 (UTC) PS: The request template should be filled at some point.[reply]
Thanks for the helpful comments! The request was updated: I added further details regarding our goals and reflected latest decisions (e.g., use of LimeSurvey, change in campaign dates). Conversations with CN coordinators and survey specialists are taking place internally to validate the request or – in lack of approval – find suggestions for alternative channels aligned with our limitations. SSanchez-WMF (talk) 21:28, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Once your CN coordinators have created both the banner as well as the campaign in line with the mentioned guidelines, volunteer CN admins can take a look. The campaign duration looks reasonable and WWikitech is a project which rarely receives banners, so once we hear that the survey itself has been approved, we should be able to give our approval as volunteer CN admins as well.
Thanks @Johannnes89 and all for helping to guide this! I'll be working with @SSanchez-WMF to help on the survey side, and I agree this seems like a good candidate for a wikitech banner after discussing off-wiki with Sarai :). I assume this request may stay open into January as the team works to get all the components together (in case it's affecting the CN admins' workflows, no action needed for now). - TAndic (WMF) (talk) 19:51, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for submitting the request so early! I don't see an issue with volunteer CentralNotice admin approval as required by CentralNotice/Usage guidelines#Policies for Affiliates and WMF Staff. I want to point out though (as mentioned last time [1]), that I would expect WMDE CentralNotice admins to create both campaign and banner, instead of relying on volunteers (which is also what the CentralNotice guidelines ask for).

Per CentralNotice/Usage guidelines campaigns running longer than two weeks usually require community approval. Even if this is an established campaign, the unusually long duration should be discussed with the de(-AT) community.
Personally I think the duration might be ok, if the banner is running on a low impression diet and with limited traffic, in order to make sure it doesn't annoy editors (and readers) again and again for many weeks... Johannnes89 (talk) 18:40, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that for community campaigns longer than 2 weeks, local community approval is required as per the new CN guidelines. Therefore, please add a link to the notification of the local community about the campaign, thanks in advance. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)12:57, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the comment, @DerHexer. I have edited the banner code to include a closing button. Could you please confirm that it works now? I will update you with the banner runtime issue shortly. All the best, janbery (talk) 15:25, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Janbery: Yes, it worked for me, I just used the more common JavaScript call for closing the banner.

As mentioned a couple of month ago to other WMDE members (e.g. [4][5]) I don't think WMDE should rely on volunteer resources – especially given that there are several WMDE central notice administrators. That's also what the new CN policy asks for [6]. I get that the WMDE FunTech team is currently busy with fundraising banners, but maybe that's a good time to finally start internal discussions about proper staffing (and better internal processes) for other WMDE banner campaigns. It's a shame that nothing has changed despite years of complaining. Johannnes89 (talk) 07:12, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Leserättin ich habe die Kampagne [10] und das Banner [11] (Vorschau [12]) erstellt. Bitte kontrolliere, ob alles wie gewünscht aussieht und eingestellt wird, bevor ich es einschalte.

Note that I've split the campaign into two (second campaign [13], second banner [14]) in order to be able to increase visibility for logged-in users in the first campaign (logged-out users still have less priority than the fundraising campaign which is currently running).

@Darafsh: Hey, sorry for being a bit late on this one. Please note some information:
According to the new CN guidelines, we kindly ask you to submit the request at least 14 days in advance. It is fine with this campaign.
Because the campaign is longer than 14 days, we need to ask you to communicate it to the affected communities beforehand (not needed for campaigns up to 14 days). However, since this is a well-known event, I make an exception here. Nevertheless, if you want to communicate it now that the campaign will happen and a link to the request page, I don't mind. ;)
The banner text you provided is English only. However, you requested it to be available in Uzbek, Kazakh, Russian, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Turkmen, Persian. — Before we can activate the campaign, please have the translation ready (you can submit them here, just change the languages). The same is required for the landing page, but I could see that this is already marked for translation and many languages ready; thank you! — Usually, I would add a link to the banner where people can add more translation, but I won't do this now because the number of target languages is limited.
I also had to change the banner design from upright to landscape mode because of the standard banner which is designed like that (because of the widescreen desktop PC's), and I made the full banner clickable, not just the one link in the center. I hope that's fine with you.
I have created the campaign and banner (preview). Please check everything, approve it and ping me so that I can enable the campaign (as long as the translation are available, I can approve them as soon as they are here). Best, —DerHexer(Talk)13:07, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @DerHexer, Thank you so much for your help. We have translated the message into the targeted languages, and the changes you made are approved. Please proceed with enabling the campaign.Thanks again Darafsh (talk) 16:43, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Darafsh: Thanks, I marked the translation as published and enabled the banner. @Красный: No, it doesn't work like that in the banner source code (wiki markup is not possible). ;) But with the link to the Cyrillic version I could adjust the banner accordingly. @Both: Let me know when you have other logos, like a version in Farsi, etc. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)22:49, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Girart de Roussillon, I created the template for this campaign, it could be reused if this first "Oceania month" has further editions.
As it is a banner for French Wikipedia logged-in users worldwide, I believe it would be fine to target Canada while having the fundraising there, @JBrungs (WMF) what do you think? Based on you reply, I'll create the campaign.
Yes, I agree. Fundraising banners will be displayed to non logged in users on French Wikipedia in Canada but that should not interfere with this campaign. Have a good campaign. Best. JBrungs (WMF) (talk) 05:44, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Girart de Roussillon and Trizek: Please not that requesting a campaign should take place at least 14 days in advance according to the new CentralNotice guidelines. However, with the prepared banner and the short duration (campaigns longer than 14 days need community approval), it should be fine as is. It could have been considered using a Watchlist-summary instead of a CentralNotice banner as this campaign only targets logged-in users in a single project. Links: campaign, banner, preview. Please approve everything so that we can enable the campaign. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)13:08, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DerHexer, usually these campaigns use the site notice, which is annoying these users. This is why I encouraged the community to move to CentralNotice instead, as it has better filtering solutions in user preferences.
@Trizek: Events is only used for conferences and the like. Article contests, edit-a-thons, etc. are categorized with “article writing”. With this interpretation, I have reverted the change, but please feel free to change it back when you disagree. I don't mind much, but that's how we were using it usually.

I'm getting an error in the preview because the banner is loading an external Montserrat font. Is this needed? Can we use a different font instead?
For the correlation to the other campaign (which I will likely create later today) we have a couple of options: e.g., we can change from 50:50 display to any kind of percentage. But we can also let the 3 displays per 2 days standard setting (can be changed upon your request) of the primary campaign complete first and then show the other campaign (which would be adapted by different priority levels but at a 100 % display for each when they run).

Type of grant - On Wiki in Africa side, the campaign is funded by an annual grant. Some other groups are likely to use their annual support grant too. During the last year, a dozen of groups applied for a rapid grant to support that project and this is likely to be the same this year.
Great to have SheSaid back, and happy to help set up the campaign and banner.
Like last year, we will only enable the campaign for those languages in which the banner + landing page has translations. Can you please supply me with a list of these before the expressed starting date of the campaign? I will try and create a preview of the banner for you to check out over the weekend.

campaign for the banners on Wikipedia (very restricted diet, will show 3 times every 28 days per user per project)
I am proposing the Wikipedia banner to start on Sept 2nd, because the WLM banners will also already go live on the 1st. Does that make sense to you? Ciell (talk) 18:49, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Over the weekend I have been working to improve the SheSaid banners by shortening the participant pipeline (number of clicks they need to engage with the landing page). By creating individual campaigns and banners for all languages, the engagement is now much more direct. For this I reviewed all the languages and landing pages you have listed on the Meta page and collected them here in one overview with the information I need for the banners, and noticed that 5 languages do not have a landing page for SheSaid 2024: I have decided to not target these languages anymore, since I assume these are not really participating? No landing page means no available information for participants. For the 4 languages that I, after a month of running the translatable banner, don't have a local language version on the banner text available, they are still receiving the general banner they saw previously, but will still be send to Meta where the participant will have to look up their project manually (instead of being directed to their Wikiquote directly).
Do you wish to show banners to Logged In users, Anonymous Users or Both? Do you want to target users with a specific number of edits or average monthly?
Logged-in users with less than 100 edits
What countries will your campaign target?
All
Banner/Campaign Diet:
To be determined by Central Notice admin
What is the purpose of the campaign? How will you measure the success of the campaign?
We'd like to continue the campaign from last year (request). The banner will only be running for two days before the first Wednesday of each month, and will be targeted to users with less than 100 edits. Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (talk) 08:24, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Requests must be made, at minimum, 14 days in advance of any campaign
For normal requests, a central notice admin will close the discussion. In the areas of advocacy, the stewards team may be called upon to assess consensus.
