Revision as of 17:21, 16 November 2014

Wikipedia has five kinds of top-of-page messages that can be used to convey information or announcements to readers and editors.

The "Sitenotice", found at MediaWiki:Sitenotice, is displayed at the top of all pages for all logged-in users, and for anonymous users if the following message is empty.
MediaWiki:Anonnotice can be used to display information only to anonymous/IP users, not logged-in users. Alternatively, by 'blanking' the anonnotice and replacing it with nothing (not even a space or empty paragraph!), then the sitenotice can be used as a "logged-in users only" notice to display information only to editors. When "Anonnotice" contains nothing, no notice is shown to anonymous users. When it contains "-" it disables the message in favour of Sitenotice. If it contains anything else, it will be rendered to anonymous users instead of the Sitenotice (including a "hide" button).
MediaWiki:Watchlist-messages is displayed at the top of Special:Watchlist for all users who use this feature.
The CentralNotice, found at meta:Special:CentralNotice, is an extension which can display banners at the top of a select group of Wikimedia sites simultaneously.
Geonotice, at Wikipedia:Geonotice, allows location-specific notices – and is a candidate for integration into MediaWiki.

Request (31 Oct - 2 Nov)

Possibly in the wrong place, I've made this request for a Watchlist notice to run from 11:00 UTC on Friday 31 October until Sunday 2 November. Thanks, Jheald (talk) 17:21, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove both the notices, both are expired. Thanks, Jim Carter 19:27, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: They've expired, so are no longer displayed on the watchlist. Next time that somebody adds a message to MediaWiki:Watchlist-details, expired messages can be removed at the same time. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:15, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
