This happens every year - there are always people concerned that we've been hacked, or that they have a virus, or that there is some kind of phishing attack going on. I expect the only way to avoid that would be to have the banners up continuously 365 days a year, so people are used to them just being part of the site - as long as people are used to there being no banner ads on Wikipedia, the sudden appearance of them will confuse some people. As Philippe says, I would expect there to be an OTRS template from previous years to explain what is going on. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
