=== Remember for next year === |
|||
# Don't rush. Start putting things together earlier. If a deadline is nastily approaching, change it. |
|||
# Do things properly with thought-out rationales — don't just redirect last year's page to the new page, move all of the pages at once (either with a bot or script) so we can keep them around. You never know when we'll need them again, either for translations, code, or just to see what last year was like. |
|||
# Communication amongst the team members could be better. A public fundraising channel on IRC is the best solution (we had something like this in 2008)... private things can be moved to IM or PM. |
|||
# Use a testing platform/site (dev.donate.wikimedia.org) that's actually like the final destination... create draft notices *in* CentralNotice, so we don't have to re-invent things. |
|||
# Numbers in the translation request are helpful. |
|||
# Quadruple^nth check that you have all the strings included in the translation request. |
|||
# If we're going to have a link within a string, make sure that that's noted in the translation request. |
|||
# Have working drafts available. Screenshots are better than nothing, but a working demo is <3. |
|||
# Community feedback was weird this year: the beginning (donation buttons, etc.) was full of it and then the final result (WIKIPEDIA FOREVER) was just handed to the community without much say in the matter. |
|||
# Be more diligent in responding to translator questions. |
|||
# Staggered launches worked great. |
|||
# Create a separate notice template with all the shared pieces that are specific to this fundraiser. (all donate-url's, all Support Wikipedia's, etc.) |
|||
# Communal To do list worked well. |
|||
# Cross-browser checking *while developing*. |
|||
# Don't go half-way on the Wikipedia vs. Sister projects issue, it just leads to confusion. |
|||
# Don't piss of the chapters. |
|||
# '''Reuse'''. Multiple pages with exactly the same thousand characters (save for a few small changes) should be avoided (e.g. [[Support Wikipedia/en]] & [[Support Wikipedia2/en]]) |
|||
#: An extension of this is stuff like [[Donate/Benefactors/en]] and [[Benefactors]]. |
|||
# Making the page look like a wiki is b.a.d. |

#:Ugly page title. |

#:People are more likely to try to leave feedback on talk pages, get accounts to translate, etc. We didn't have these issues in the past. |
