The current version of CentralNotice only allows the user to target a campaign to specific projects (e.g. all Wiktionaries), or languages (e.g. all wikis in Dutch), or a combination of the two (e.g. Wiktionary and Wikisource in German).
It is not possible, however, to select wikis more accurately.
Use case: Technical maintenance performed by the Wikimedia Foundation is sometimes split into several stages to limit disruption. For example, the deployment of MediaWiki 1.18 is happening in three stages with the following wiki sets:
- simple.wikipedia.org, simple.wiktionary.org, usability.wikimedia.org, strategy.wikimedia.org, mediawiki.org, he.wikisource.org
- meta.wikimedia.org, en.wikiquote.org, en.wikibooks.org, beta.wikiversity.org, eo.wikipedia.org, nl.wikipedia.org
- All remaining wikis.
Because the sets don't concern a specific project or a specific language, it is not possible to target each group of wikis with a dedicated campaign.
