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.

@Zippybonzo one day I'm going to get around to writing up a "style guide" for these! — xaosflux ^Talk 15:38, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Xaosflux, sorry to be a bother, but can you please replace the comma with a semicolon in order to avoid a comma splice? In other words: "The Guild of Copy Editors' October Blitz runs from Oct 16 to Oct 22; sign up now to join in the effort." Thanks. (a request from a GOCE coordinator emeritus) – Jonesey95 (talk) 07:20, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Step hen 09:33, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sound logo

It is requested that an edit be made to the interface page at MediaWiki:Watchlist-messages. (edit · history · last · links)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to fully protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

Please consider adding the following:

Eligible users are invited to vote for the Wikimedia sound logo. It will be used when virtual voice assistants answer queries.

There is currently a discussion on the miscellaneous village pump about this and a CentralNotice banner; no objections have been raised so far.

As well, please remove the expired notice.

If it's going to be a CN, we don't also need a WLN. I removed the expired one. — xaosflux ^Talk 11:17, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If this moves forward, I would prefer this language: "Voting is now open on a sound logo that will represent Wikimedia projects on audio devices. Vote until 23:59 UTC, 19 December 2022." Ed Erhart (WMF) (talk) 18:55, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
