Media

Everyone can support Wikipedia’s online protest by uploading a black profile picture or by shutting down their own website. You will also find code snippets for JavaScript, HTML and PHP below.

Profile picture

Take part of Blackout21 and use a black profile picture on March 21st! If you can’t find any blank profile picture, you can just use this one:

Image	Language
	universal / none

Story images

You can use this picture to use as story on WhatsApp, Snapchat, Instagram or Facebook:

Image (blank)	Image (background)	Language
		English (EN)
		English (EN)
		German (DE)
		German (DE)
		universal for own text or as first image für eigenen Text oder 1. Bild

Banners

There are some banners, which informs users about the protests against Article 13:

Image	Resolution	Language
	1980 × 480	English (EN)
	1980 × 480	German (DE)
	800 × 600	English (EN)
	800 × 600	German (DE)
	1000 × 1000	English (EN)
	1000 × 1000	German (DE)

Static blackout pages

You can inform your visitors easily about the protests and the EU copyright directive using a static blackout page.

There are different versions. You can just copy you favorite version to your webserver or redirect to our version! The blank versions work without any external resources. It’s pure HTML with some inline CSS. For the wallpaper versions you need the additional wallpaper.jpg.

If you need any help, please contact Blackout21_EU on Twitter.

PHP

Small PHP code snippet (just copy it to your index.php or wp-include.php). You can modify the date (2019-03-21), if you want to test it.

if ('2019-03-21' === (new \DateTime())->format('Y-m-d')) {
    $url = 'https://blackout21.github.io/blackout-static-pages/blackout_en.html'; // Or use another version
    header('Location: ' . $url, true, 302);
    exit;
}

HTML

You can also use simple HTML meta tag to redirect your visitors:

<!-- add this to your head tag -->
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://blackout21.github.io/blackout-static-pages/blackout_en.html">

JavaScript

And you can additionally use a single line of JavaScript, too:

<script>location.href = "https://blackout21.github.io/blackout-static-pages/blackout_en.html";</script>

Widget

If you don’t want to disable your whole website, you can also show a big popup to your visitors. If you include this script on your page, the popup will only show on March 21st. You can also test it by adding #showsaveyourinternet to page’s URL). You can put this code snippet everywhere on your page (head or body) – but we recommend to place it right before </body>. Warning: Some sites does not allow custom JavaScript (like free version of WordPress.com)!
