Hi team,
in the matomo documentation, it is written that the campaign name is necessary to trigger a campaign visit:

whereas this is not true, in the screenshot below i just created a visit with only the parameter medium:

Suggested solution:
to double check which parameter is necessary and to update the documentation accordingly.

Yes and btw the name 'mediä' is not proper in the French translation. This word does not exist like this ('media' is OK) but we could still use 'medium'.

@Chardonneaur The generator / documentation should be for core only. The campaign medium and stuff like that is detected by the MarketingCampaignsReporting plugin, which behaves and detects campaigns differently.
