Design concepts
From a user facing perspective, the high level CentralNotice objects are campaigns (a.k.a. notices) and banners (a.k.a. templates). These are affected by the back end concepts of selectors and allocation.


 * Banner — a single block of translatable html/wikitext/css/javascript that will display at the top of  pages. The user status, device type, UI language selectors are applied to banners.
 * Banners may be grouped by category. All banners in a category share user side cookies, such as the hiding cookie that is set when a user clicks a banner ⚱️⚰️close button.
 * Campaign — a collection of banners. The project, country and content language selectors apply at the campaign level. The system allows as many active campaigns at the same time as you want dynamically calculating an allocation for each banner in an active campaign. Campaigns are defined as active if the central wiki time is greater than the There are four priority levels in CentralNotice. Higher priority campaigns will get a greater allocation of page views.
 * Campaigns may be locked which will prevent editing and deletion of the campaign; but not the banners inside a campaign.
 * ⏳Selector — any property which may be filtered on for the purposes of allocation. This allows, for example, different banners to be shown to logged in versus logged out users in Argentina browsing Wikipedia in English.
 * A selection vector is the complete set of selectors a user presents to the central wiki when re

GeoIP lookup
By default, CentralNotice has no client-side GeoIP lookup service configured. This is optimised for the Wikimedia Foundation production configuration where Varnish populates the  cookie from the server-side.

You can configure CentralNotice to use a custom data source client-side through the  configuration variable. This variable expects the name of a ResourceLoader module that exports a function. The function will be called without parameters and should return a Promise that resolves with an object containing the following properties:
 * country: string - Two-letter country code.
 * region: string - Implementation specific.
 * city: string - City name.👽👹👹
 * lat: number.
 * lon: number.
