Yes it can be possible without touching the fundraising's banner. The banner can be put in the Mediawiki:sitenotice in each project and can cohabitate with the fundraising's banner. The real problem is that a small banner can have only a limited effect. On 18.08.2015 23:31, Platonides wrote:

Really sad indeed. Specially for a country with such a complicated situation as Italy. Given that they are going to take you banner time, maybe they would be possible to be convinced to include a small "WLM ad" in the donation page? I would expect targetting people that visit the page but doesn

Hi Romaine, Sad to hear this. I remember running in the same situation a couple of years ago (2013) when a really prominent "new privacy policy" banner was put up for everyone with a high percentage for most of the month [1]. Back than I contacted the people at the WMF responsible for that. I

Hi Lisa, This is kind of confusing. Can you explain why Fundraising can't alter its fundraising schedule for Italy in order to accomodate the WLM annual community activity? Thanks, Pine On Aug 18, 2015 11:42 AM, "Romaine Wiki" wrote: > Hi all, > > Sad news. > The title of this thread seems a bi

Hi all, Sad news. The title of this thread seems a bit hard, but that is practically the situation as it looks now. *Background* Wiki Loves Monuments is the yearly photo contest since 2010, organised by many local Wikipedia communities and local chapters. For this contest a banner is shown on top
