[WikiX-l] 10th anniversary banners

[GoEthe.wiki]

Is the translation request on Meta? Either way, a link would be nice.
Cheers,

> So we're about a week away from the anniversary, and there more than 275

> use this week to run CentralNotice banners on Wikimedia sites to remind

> We're currently running a banner on English Wikipedia that links directly
> to tenwiki and is awaiting further translation. (We will also be translating
> the Main Page of tenwiki further. Let me know if you want to help with both
> those translation projects.) The priority here is threefold:
>
> 1. Educate people about the 10th anniversary in general.
> 2. Link to a comprehensive list of online and offline events so that people
> can choose the event that interests them.
> 3. Show people the enormously diverse number of things our movement is
> doing to celebrate.
>
> Considering that we're only running the 10th anniversary messages for a
> week, we did not plan for a large number of different banner designs.
> However, if you're an organizing group that would like to run your own
> banner design or directly link to your event in your country, that is
> definitely welcome contingent on a few basic requirements:
>
> 1. Just to state the obvious, the banner needs to be localized fully and
> will only run for visitors in your country who are on the wiki the banner is
> localized for.
> 2. The banner will need to mention both the 10th anniversary (remember,
> most people have no idea it's happening) and that there are events to join.
> A banner that merely mentions a single party or other kind of event without
> context would fail to do justice to the anniversary and the other volunteers
> who have worked hard to make it memorable.
> 3. The banner can link to your event's ten.wikipedia.org page or a landing
> page elsewhere. To link directly to a page off tenwiki, that page needs to
> clearly mention and link back to the other events on tenwiki (so that people
> don't end up at a dead end if they don't find what they're looking for). If
> there are multiple events happening in your country, then whatever page the
> banner links needs to mention all of them.
> 4. You need to submit this banner directly to me so that we don't miss any
> submissions. If you want to put it on-wiki first and simply link to it in
> your email, that's great.
>
> If you're still with me here, thanks for reading, and thanks for everything
> you're doing to make the 10th anniversary great. If you have questions,
> please let me know.
