My apologies John for my overly basic initial response. I wanted to note that regarding the banner design [1] we’ve definitely heard and taken the feedback on board as a team. Our design team discussed it on Monday and are exploring ways in which we might iterate on this in future tests.
We are always sympathetic about any potential impact that fundraising campaigns have on reader experience. This is why we use tools to limit impressions seen by readers, limit traffic or campaign length, and only send a limited number of emails to past donors. Most non-profits and pretty much every other online fundraising model involves running campaigns all year around, all the time. Regarding this related issue both Sam and you brought up about the use of cookies in Central Notice and exploring the usage of hash id’s. It’s an interesting idea but certainly one fraught with potential public misconceptions along with ethical and technical challenges. Even with navigating those I’m not sure Fundraising is really the team to take a lead on this kind of device fingerprinting within MediaWiki and falls well outside our team’s area of responsibility and expertise. There are also big changes expected in the way browsers provide the necessary information so we are going to need to see how this comes out in the wash. Either way, we’ve created a phabricator ticket to facilitate future discussion about this topic.[2] Thanks again for your recommendation. Please do continue to leave any feedback, ideas, or questions on the fundraising talk page.[3] Best wishes, Nick [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=NASA&banner=B1920_0331_enWW_dsk_p2_sm_twin1&uselang=en&force=1 [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T252123 [3] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising On Tue, May 5, 2020 at 2:32 PM John Erling Blad <jeb...@gmail.com> wrote: > It happen after a reboot where the browsers was reset. > No, I did not take a screenshot. > > On Tue, May 5, 2020 at 7:43 PM Samuel Klein <meta...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > > This is a complaint about multiple banners on the same page. > > > > > > > > > I believe it would be better to put the add on the lower part of the > > > viewport, for all users, and for a limited time.
