Central Notice admin comments
- @Anasskoko: A couple of things before we could create the campaign:
- Wikimedia Pages Wanting Audios is only available in English by now. We cannot enable the campaign in other languages than the landing page. Please enable it for translation and start translating.
- Usually, campaigns should be announced on all larger local wiki's village pumps, e.g. English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. As this campaign is limited to Nigeria, we recommend it but don't consider it a must.
- File:WikikSound Audio Speaks Campaign Logo 05.jpg is much too large for mobile devices. Either we have to disable it for mobile devices (which will result in a loss of 50+ % of traffic) or you should create a much smaller logo, similar to the Wikimedia logos. This can come along with a (translatable) text. Then it will look similar to this preview. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 21:02, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you @DerHexer for taking time to work on this;
- Alright for the translation on other languages I would try as possible as I can to make sure that I enable it and make the translation.
- I consider it to be announce on larger local wikis; the English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, is there anything required of me to do for that?
- I think is better if you go on with what can be possible in creating the banner, because we are running out of time, I think We would create a smaller logo next year. Best regards. ---An@ss_koko(Talk2me) 22:01, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Anasskoko: I've created the campaign and tried a banner version with your large logo. The preview works for me on desktop and mobile (also with smartphone display enabled). However, as said, I can only enable it for English by now because of the lack of other languages of the landing page. Please check everything and approve the campaign so that I can enable it. You can also ping me when you have other languages on the landing page ready. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 20:07, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
