Close button in CN banners[edit]
Hi,
I think someone deleted the close icon we use in several CN banners. This was hosted on the foundation wiki, and can be replaced by the one on Commons, but before I have figured out in which currently running banners this icon is used (I'll have to go through the source scripts in the banners, I think?) maybe a steward can change the dead link into a redirect? Ciell (talk) 11:19, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- I tried, but I can't do it without local admin permissions. @GVarnum-WMF could you undo your deletion [1]? Johannnes89 (talk) 11:36, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Johannes89. I think I have replaced it in the banners that are currently live. Ciell (talk) 11:40, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Ciell & @Johannnes89: Apologies - there were so many old CN files on that wiki - I am surprised to see that one was still in use. I have gone ahead and undeleted, but can delete again if/once the links are updated to the Commons location. Thank you both for your quick efforts! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 11:44, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks @Gregory!
- For returning CN banner campaigns we sometimes build on the previous years' banners to design the next one, so I am not sure we can prevent this from happening again without changing the scripts that were used in the last ~2 years. Would it be a problem to keep the image on foundation wiki? If yes, we might want to go through the scripts by bot and make sure the change is addressed. Ciell (talk) 11:53, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Ciell: Not a problem at all to keep the image. We are trying to clean up that wiki, but not to the extent of creating more work elsewhere. I will mark it and reference this conversation so we know to keep it in the future. If you encounter any other missing images - please let me know. Thank you! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 12:07, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- That would be great, thanks Gregory! Ciell (talk) 12:24, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Ciell: I have gone ahead and added a message. I am going to be moving some files from that wiki to Commons (which I do not think will impact CNs), but otherwise done cleaning up files on that wiki. Feel free to ping me if you notice any other issues. Thank you! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 12:29, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Just in case, we'll have observing community members that will flag anything that breaks, I'm sure! Ciell (talk) 15:01, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
