Can you link me to some example code for east/west? I want to double check what the code says for longitude.

It's in the Pennsylvania part of the New York City metro area example,
which specifices the northernand eastern part of the state:

else if( region == 'PA' && Geo.lat >= 40.1 && Geo.lon <= 75.4) {

region = 'PA-northeast';

Hah. I'm glad I double checked with you. I was gonna guess long, which would have been incorrect :)

Alright, MVP (minimum viable product) is complete. You can install it by adding the below code to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pharos/common.js

importScript( 'en:User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/CentralNoticeHelper.js' );

Visit any page. Go into the more menu and click on "CentralNotice Helper".

Fill in the form:

Enjoy your code!

As you use it and find bugs or want more features, let me know and we can slowly work on improving the script.

Beautiful!

Here are some feature requests:

(1) There should be up to four directional statements per subnational unit, enough to draw a box if you want.
(2) You should be able to pick more than one subnational unit at a time, maybe up to four. Each would have its own set of directional statements.
(3) We should have Canadian provinces as well as US states, and the ability to use them in combination.

Can you please add some sample code to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:North_American_Wikimedians/Communication_project#Examples_for_of_JavaScript_banners_for_possible_gadget containing Canadian provinces? I want to see if they use the same two-letter capital letter codes, or something special.

Perhaps it makes sense to have drop-down selector for country as a first step, and then a drop-down selector for state/province as a second step. That way, it will be a bit easier to find the appropriate 2-letter subnational code.

continents (we often get requests for all of Africa or LATAM which implies clicking dozens of countries manually instead of checking a continent and removing wrong or adding more countries) > countries > states > subregions, please :)

This is slightly different I think because that would be at the campaign level, while this userscript is acting at the banner level. Is there even a way to edit a campaign by a userscript?

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. No, I don't think that JavaScripts can change the campaign settings (easily).
