For WMRU Banner Campaign Calendar see here
| русский · English |
The project is about systemic use of CentralNotice banner mechanism to inform readers of Wikimedia projects in the languages of Russia and sometimes others about online-contests, as well as educational offline events (Wiki-seminars, Wiki-conferences etc.), initiated and organized by Wikimedians from the Russian Federation — be it on the level of the national chapter Wikimedia Russia, as well as language, territory or other theme-specific Wikimedia User Groups from Russia and, possibly, yet unrecognized groups of active users.
Grounds
править- Approval by responsible Wikimedia Foundation staff (meeting in the course of Wikimania-2017)
- Effectiveness of test campains about Wikimedia Conference Russia 2017 (campaign / viewership) and Volga Region Wiki-Seminar 2017 (campaign / viewership)
- Russia's Federal Mass Media are silent about valuable educational contribution of Russia's volunteer Wikimedians (also), only reporting about incidents that can be politicized.
Usage Guidelines
править- Campaign length - Campaigns should typically be less than 2 weeks in length. Only in cases where proven success exists or explicit community consensus prevails will exceptions be made for campaigns of 1 month.
- The longest currently active multilingual campaign ― about three-month long Supporting Indian Language Wikipedias Program Contest ― has a month-long banner (originally requested for three)
- Limit - Hard limit of 2 campaigns for any one language/geography/project combination per month.
- Freely licensed - All content including text, background images or logos must be free content.
Standard Settings
править- Only about contests and seminars/conferences open to all
- Only to Anonimous visitors, others will learn at respective forums?
- In all pertinent content-related Wikimedia Projects
- In languages of other sovereign states — only within territorial limits of the Russian Federation
- When in partnership with other country chapters, other languages can also be covered in their territory of responsibility
- In Russian and other languages of Russia — globally
- Landing pages — minimum in Russian and English
- Campaign weight & Banner impressions to be left to experienced CN-Admins
Russia settings
править- After each campaign, the number of new editors who join and participate, and the number of articles created/edited and if possible, the amount of information added during a competition be reported.
- It's recommended that only one campaign run any one time.
- There should ideally be breaks between campaigns where no banners are being shown to users to avoid banner fatigue/banner blindness.
- Banner campaigns that aim to target unregistered and new users only should include a maximum edit count threshold.
- Banners in Russia will use a shared impression cookie and a shared close cookie across campaigns.
Procedure
править- Initiator creates campaign landing page in Russian in WMRU-wiki, Meta-wiki or in one of the Wikimedia content projects in the languages of Russia and announces it via WMRU mailing list
- The page is translated into English and, if necessary, into other languages and is published on WMRU-wiki or Meta-Wiki (or in respective language sections of content-related Wikimedia projects)
- When using WMRU-wiki or Meta-Wiki, the optimal solution is to mark either Russian or English text for translation, though it's possible to do things manually (by placing {{languages|Original page title}} code, whilst other language versions are titled using «Original page title/language code», like Баннеры/en here)
- Banner text and emblem identified
- CentralNotice Request is filed in English
- Separate campaign page with project details is created (timeframes, covered projects, landing pages, banner impressions, etc.)
- The campaign page is included for showing in the overall requests list ({{:Campaign page}})
- target projects are notified of the request at their Village Pumps/Forums (standard English & Russian invitation to comment in the dedicated discussion on Meta)
- The campaign is included into CentralNotice/Calendar
- CN-admins are kindly reminded to activate the banner some 10-14 days after Request.
