Pageviews isn't a good metric for this, because it isn't measuring the
people who load a Wikipedia page, see an obnoxious banner, and then

Thanks, Seddon.
Why aren't the two mobile banners listed on
https://frdata.wikimedia.org/campaign-vs-amount.csv -- or am I just
not finding them?
Also, how do you feel about measuring the extent to which you would
have to run more single-line banners to match the donation volume of
larger banners
Dear all,
The fundraising team genuinely hears and appreciates all the feedback we've
received about this mobile banner. For the past week and a half - for the
majority of our mobile campaign - we have been extensively working and
acting on that feedback to reduce the length of this banner, emph

Hi James,
As I mentioned in my original reply to Molly, Desktop page views have been
in decline for the past 2-3 years from 4.36 billion (Oct 2016) to 3.64

fundraising platform has historically been substantially lower comp

For those of you who have not seen the mobile fundraising banner this
year, and thus are uncertain of what all the fuss is about, here is an
example:

The fundraising message literally takes 4.5 screens that have to be

I love the focus on mobile and smaller format interfaces, quite generally;
it's increasingly how I use the projects too!

Hey Molly,
Thank you for your feedback, it is really appreciated. There are a fair few
points you’ve raised so I will do my best cover them all. For some
background, mobile fundraising is vitally important. Desktop page views
have been in decline for the past 2-3 years from 4.36 billion (Oct 2016)
Hey all,
I feel a little bad raising this because I know there was some community
vetting of fundraising initiatives that I ignored, but please forgive me. I
brought this up in the Wikimedia Weekly Facebook group asking where best to
raise the issue, and it was suggested I post here.
