MediaWiki talk:WatchlistNotice

Commons notice (Watchlist notice)

Listing • Talk • Help • Transclusions • Read all • Create new

Commons has 3 kinds of top of page messages that can be used to convey information or announcements to readers and editors:

An extensive and configurable watchlist notice system
The "Sitenotice", found at MediaWiki:Sitenotice, is displayed at the top of all pages for all logged-in users, and for anonymous users if MediaWiki:Anonnotice is empty; this latter message can be used to display information only to users who are not logged in. Alternatively, by 'blanking' the anonnotice and replacing it with <p></p>, the sitenotice can be used as a "logged-in-notice" to display information only to users who are logged in. MediaWiki:Sitenotice-translation provides localised sitenotices via {{LangSwitch}}, using MediaWiki:Sitenotice for en. MediaWiki:Sitenotice can contain any markup but must contain a <p>-tag. The contents of this <p>-tag are then replaced by MediaWiki:Sitenotice-translation, loaded by a script in MediaWiki:Common.js
There is also the CentralNotice, found at meta:Special:CentralNotice, an extension which can display banners at the top of a select group of Wikimedia sites simultaneously.

New messages must increment the id, or the message will not always appear for users who hid the previous message. Read the template reference or use the Wizard when creating new messages.
