Description

After a conversation with @Gilles, WMF Online Fundraising would like to gather more information about the effect of CentralNotice banners on Google's Web Vital metrics, potential impact on our search rankings, and things we can do to mitigate it.

I'm requesting Google Search Console access for the following domains, and their *.m.wikipedia.org versions, where we run our major fundraising campaigns:

en.wikipedia.org
de.wikipedia.org
es.wikipedia.org
fr.wikipedia.org
it.wikipedia.org
ja.wikipedia.org
nl.wikipedia.org
pt.wikipedia.org
sv.wikipedia.org

Also the following fundraising domain, which I just want to monitor more generally and see if there's any improvements we can make:

donate.wikimedia.org

Thanks!

@JKatzWMF can you make that happen?

@Gilles done. @Pcoombe, you should be able to add others on your team to that domain now as well. Donate.wikimedia setup, but will take some time to generate reports.

Hi @JKatzWMF, although my own access is working fine, I can't seem to add any other users. Tried following the instructions at https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7687615 - Going to Settings for a domain does confirm that I am a "delegated owner" but there is no link to "Users & permissions" which would allow me to add new users.

Not sure why it didn't work, but thanks for walking through it with me yesterday. Added eyener@wikimedia.org to the domains you requested, @Pcoombe.

@JKatzWMF Thanks. Can you add Erin to the mobile *.m.wikipedia subdomains as well? Sorry to be a pain!
