Revision as of 01:29, 27 February 2012

Misplaced Pages has five kinds of top-of-page messages that can be used to convey information or announcements to readers and editors.
  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. MediaWiki:Watchlist-messages is displayed at the top of Special:Watchlist for all users who use this feature.
  4. 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.
  5. Geonotice, at Misplaced Pages:Geonotice, allows location-specific notices – and is a candidate for integration into MediaWiki.

Wikimania scholarships deadline

We'd like to remind Wikipedians about the Wikimania 2012 travel scholarship deadline, which is February 16. I think watchlist notice would be a helpful reminder.

Something like this:

Agree Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 18:17, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
We already used central notice for a week for this. Now it's steward elections, and don't want to overuse central notice anyway. Cheers --Aude (talk) 23:41, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

New RFC process trial run notice

I got a request to add a notice and thinks it complies with the use of this page, but wanted to post here for a couple hours before I implement it. Thanks. MBisanz 20:10, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

 Done As no one objected. MBisanz 02:00, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

COI RfC

Please announce the ArbCom-requested RfC on COI here. It surely has more site-wide impact than the abortion-related titles. ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 01:28, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
