The PageNotice extension provides a way to create a fixed notice message on the top or the bottom of either:

• an entire namespace (by Namespace number)
• an individual page (by page name, if the extension is configured to allow it)

Usage

Wiki administrators can define a page notice by creating a new page in MediaWiki namespace following a special page-naming pattern, and then writing the notice in that new page.

• The top notice for pages in namespace NN goes in [[MediaWiki:top-notice-ns-NN]] (where NN is the numeric namespace ID).
• The bottom notice for pages in namespace NN goes in [[MediaWiki:bottom-notice-ns-NN]] (where NN is the numeric namespace ID).

If enabled:

• The top notice for page XXX goes in [[MediaWiki:top-notice-XXX]].
• The bottom notice for page XXX goes in [[MediaWiki:bottom-notice-XXX]].

Examples

This will put the phrase: "Welcome to this wiki - you can edit every page!" at the top of every page in the main namespace:

Create a new page named:

[[mediawiki:top-notice-ns-0]]

Add the page contents:

'''Welcome to this wiki - you can edit every page!'''

This will put a blue banner saying "Welcome to this wiki - you can edit every page!" at the bottom of every page in the main namespace:

Create a new page named:

[[mediawiki:bottom-notice-ns-0]]

Add the page contents:

<div style="margin-left: 1em; border: 1px solid #1DA0E7; background: #B3DDF4;">'''''Welcome to this wiki - you can edit every page!'''''</div>

Result looks like this:

Welcome to this wiki - you can edit every page!

Configuration

$wgPageNoticeDisablePerPageNotices

If set to true, notices on the per-page level are disabled; only namespace level notices will appear. The default value is false.

On Wikimedia wikis this is set to true.
