Configuration

• $wgGlobalNoticeDisplayWarningOnEditPage - This is by default equal to false. When set to true, a warning will show to the editor who's editing MediaWiki:Forced-globalnotice for informing the purpose of the message.

Usage

• MediaWiki:Forced-globalnotice — a site-wide notice shown for *all* users, no matter what their language is. Used only for things like server migration notices etc.
• MediaWiki:Globalnotice — global notice, depending on the user's language. This can be used to show language-specific stuff to users with a certain interface language (i.e. "We need more French translators! Pouvez-vous nous aider ?" on MediaWiki:Globalnotice/fr to show the message to all users with French as their interface language)
• MediaWiki:Globalnotice-sysop — a site-wide notice shown to all administrators (depending on language; MediaWiki:Globalnotice-sysop/fr to show a notice to all French sysops etc.)
  • MediaWiki:Globalnotice-bureaucrat — see above, but for bureaucrats
  • MediaWiki:Globalnotice-bot — see above...
  • MediaWiki:Globalnotice-rollback — once again, see above
