The aims of this process are as follows:
To improve community access to central notice through a clear and transparent process.
To improve best practice and ensure greater consistency in campaign implementation.
To improve communication around campaigns. Creating clear forums for feedback on campaigns, providing metrics back to campaigns and also a clear method for assessing community consensus for campaigns relating to advocacy.
To reduce potential clashes between campaigns

Step #4 : Add it to the calendar and check for conflicting campaigns in your period for language/geotargeting. Contact the organizers of the other campaigns to solve them!
Step #5 : Notify target projects and geographic affiliates. Add edit diff links to request.
Step #6 : CN Admin & Community feedback [14 days], potential rejection of the request
Advocacy/Payments: WMF Legal Review [21 days])
Step #7 : CN Admin sets up campaign (recommended to allow for up 3 days)
Step #8 : Final approval of the campaign and banner settings by volunteer CN Admin and requester
Step #9 : Campaign enabled by CN Admin
List of currently active volunteer CentralNotice administrators:
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.

Description - The Community Wishlist returns in 2026-2027. At the time this request is posted, the new process hasn't been formalized yet.
We plan to run two banners:
Banner 1 - Upcoming wish submission. This is a one week banner, which aims to inform the community about the upcoming campaign, which would be two-weeks long. It is less than the two weeks required by the guidelines, but the two campaigns combined would make 3 weeks total.
Banner 2, covering the wish submission period.
Success is measures by wishes being submitted.

I have opposed running this campaign on English Wikipedia unless the landing page is written in English. Assuming that problem is fixed, I oppose running banners for unregistered editors or an impression diet greater than one per week. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 17:08, 24 August 2026 (UTC)reply
@ARI: There should be at least an English banner text and an English executive summary on the landing page. Otherwise it will not be very useful to enable the campaign on English Wikipedia. We have seen the concern raised and will go with a limited display first. How do you want to proceed from here? Best, —DerHexer(Talk)21:11, 8 September 2026 (UTC)reply

@Vininn126: Hi! The banner request is currently empty. If you'd like to proceed with the request, could you please fill in the campaign and banner details so we can set it up? Thanks! --Soylacarli (talk) 22:11, 2 September 2026 (UTC)reply
@Vininn126: We're happy to help with the campaign. A guide with slides how to request a banner can be found here: c:File:CentralNotice Requester Training Slides.pdf. In short: We need fixed dates (usually less than 2 weeks, so 1 week is fine), banner texts in all languages that you want to target (I recommend a focus on English language only). For the banner we need a short call-to-action (<70 words) and a logo that you want to use, plus a landing page where the call-to-action will happen (subscribing to the onwiki journal, a project page, etc.). Best, —DerHexer(Talk)17:43, 3 September 2026 (UTC)reply
@Vininn126:This is the standard banner (that can be cloned by CN admins). For us it's really sufficient to just write down the text, logo and link in the template above. We will put the stuff together and show you the preview you that we ask you to approve (or ask for adjustments). Best, —DerHexer(Talk)09:19, 4 September 2026 (UTC)reply
@Vininn126: We still don't know which week you want to have your banner displayed, I set the upcoming week from September 13 to 19. Please let me know if you want to have that changed. — Please follow the links to the campaign and banner (preview), check everything, approve it when it's correct and ping me so that I can enable the campaign. — However, since you are also targeting readers who might not know how to return to the journal, how to subscribe to that (no watchlist), etc., I strongly recommend you to add a box with some backgrounds to the landing page. A general call-to-action (like: put the project page of the journal on your watchlist, or something else) would also be useful for registered users.

Looking at the mockups, are you using the 2024 logo again this year, File:Wiki Loves Women SheSaid logo 2024.svg? Do you also have a dark mode friendly version of it for me?
Also, as already mentioned last year, I can't use a redirect over the bit.ly domain in the banner since it's not WMF or affiliate owned. Please consider using the (privacy friendly!) Wikimedia URL shortner instead: Special:UrlShortener
And please don't forget to update the links on your landing page, most are those of 2025. It would be great if you can give me a list of the languages that are ready to be included. Ciell (talk) 17:14, 5 September 2026 (UTC)reply
Thank you for updating the colors and the short-url!
Now, for the landing page: your link is about your 2026 campaign, yes, but most of the links to the local projects lead to their 2025 campaigns, and that makes me unsure if all will join you again for an active 2026 campaign. Please make sure all the mentioned language communities will have a 2026 event, so I won't run banners on Wikipedia's where the Wikiquote sister project isn't participating this year.

Hi @Fritzober: Here is the banner (preview) and part of the campaign setup. Before I finish setting up the campaign, could you please clarify the exact dates?

Hi Soylacarli: Thanks for your message. On DerHexer's recommendation, the period during which the banner is to be displayed should be split into two weeks. The weeks of November 1–8 and November 15–22 would be suitable. The competition runs from November 1 to November 30 (corrections are possible until December 1 at 23:59). Thanks for your efforts.

Hello @DerHexer: Thanks a lot for your efforts; it’s interesting to see how it’s all coded. As far as I can tell, everything aligns with our agreements and my expectations. What I would like to do—deviating from our previous procedure—is split the campaign across the first and third weeks, so that the motivation can translate into tangible results. Best regards.

@Sdkb-WMF: That's a really long banner campaign. ;D I couldn't find German Wikipedia targeted in any of the campaigns provided. Will it be added later? — Other than that the campaigns look good to me, I can approve it. I'm just very much surprised to see “and save articles to read offline”, because in many countries that you target, reading things offline hasn't been an issue for many years (all our flatrates will certainly cover the small data packages of Wikipedia articles compared to the data needed for other apps). You likely have had A/B tests on this wording, but it wouldn't convince me (no worries, I have the app installed for ages ;D). Best, —DerHexer(Talk)22:05, 8 September 2026 (UTC)reply
Hi @DerHexer! Yes, German was a later addition, but we will add it to the provided campaigns! (And the value proposition of offline reading is more about e.g. flights than it is about network coverage, but we'll be A/B testing the wording over the course of the campaign to see what resonates best — that's one of the reasons we're structuring it as a long, low-level campaign rather than a short burst.)

I am aware that this request is coming on very short notice (due to issues with organizing the stops of the bus we are promoting). If someone can check it and maybe also activate it, we'd be very thankful. --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 09:12, 18 August 2026 (UTC)reply

It feels a bit unexpected that the campaign should be running in all these parts of the country for the whole time (a month! — that usually needs separate community approval) despite the fact that the bus will have already moved on from some of the parts you are targeting. Adjusting the regions (with or without geodata as in the WMDE banner) seems to make more sense to me. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)08:48, 19 August 2026 (UTC)reply
What I would do ragarding the running time: When the event in Vorarlberg is over, I'd remove Vorarlberg from the targeted areas; and then continue to do so until the last date/locaton. Otherwise I would have had to create a banner + campaign + request for each date/location separately. I felt this is too much - but if that's how it should be done I can do it.
Ciell, DerHexer: I have added code for the dark mode now, hope this is as it is meant to be.
And I have limited the geo-targeting to Vorarlberg for now. If it's alright I will update it next week, removing Vorarlberg and adding the eastern regions for the next stop in Vienna, then Upper Austria/Linz. --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 21:43, 22 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Landing Page - please update the landing page to the current event:
Campaign [11], banner [12], preview link [13] (should only display a banner while you're in Tübingen and either logged-out or logged-in but less than 50 edits).
The text is way too long (try looking at the banner at a smaller screen...)
How about just using the first question?
Ideally the second sentence would be shorter as well, e.g. removing "wieder"?
While looking at the landing page I noticed that the option to register is only available to logged-in users – as is the second option (Wikimail).
How about providing an email address for logged-out users who don't want to register prior to the event?
Linking Spezial:E-Mail senden/DarkGreenAndSunny somewhere (currently "per [[Hilfe:Wiki-Mail|Wiki-Mail]] an [[Benutzerin:DarkGreenAndSunny|DarkGreenAndSunny]]") might also be helpful for logged-in users...
We'll shorten the text, you are right, its way too long to work on different screens
(* What do you think of the suggestion "Wolltest du schon immer wissen, wie die Wikipedia funktioniert? Für alle Queers und Frauen kommenden Dienstag in Tübingen: Offenes Treffen" @Alpenhexe)
We are working on the e-mail address solution, yes! We are currently having the problem that we ourselves are not able to change the necessary settings of our mailing-list for non-subscribers to be able to contact us. But that was the idea and we're on it.
Should we not be able to provide the mailinglist solution, I'll think about your last idea, thanks!

Thanks for creating the banner @Martin Rulsch (WMDE), the new geo-location script looks very interesting. The banner does not work in dark mode for me, and I notice there's a lot of text in the notice, and would advise (non-binding) to shorten the invitation to join the event.

Both, the proportion can be determined by the CentralNotice Admin depending on what works best.
What countries will your campaign target?
Germany, only the region of Berlin. Depending on what works best, the CentralNotice Admin can deviate from this (e.g. a circle with a certain radius around the centre of Berlin).
