MediaWiki contains various features to display a custom notice above the edit form, depending on the page, namespace, or other circumstances.
Below are the most important ones.

;Editnotice {{introduced-inline|{{r|39121|1.14}} }}:
:This is a per-namespace and per-page notice.
:The page "''MediaWiki:Editnotice-N''" is loaded for an entire namespace, where "N" is the [[Special:MyLanguage/Manual:namespace|namespace]] number. For example "''MediaWiki:Editnotice-3''" is loaded for user talk pages.
:Each distinct page can have a specific notice via "''MediaWiki:Editnotice-N-Title''", where "N" is again the namespace number. Note that slashes (/) are replaced by hyphens (-). For example, "''MediaWiki:Editnotice-2-Foo-bar''" corresponds to both "User:Foo-bar" and "User:Foo/bar".
:If {{ll|Manual:$wgNamespacesWithSubpages|subpages are enabled}} for that namespace, the edit notice will also show on the subpages of the page.
:Edit notices are also shown on mobile web.<ref>[[phab:T312587|T312587: Show edit notices within mobile editing interfaces]] </ref><ref>If you encounter an empty notice, please consult [[phab:T312587#9247297|T312587#9247297]].</ref>

;Talkpagetext:
:The message "''MediaWiki:Talkpagetext''" is loaded on any talk page as well. This corresponds to all "''MediaWiki:Editnotice-X''" messages together, where X is an odd number. This message can be customized per user language.
:It can contain for example recommendations regarding etiquette (or a link to a page where it is addressed) and a reminder for the users to always sign their posts with four tildes.

;Editinginterface:
:The message "''MediaWiki:Editinginterface''" is displayed while editing MediaWiki messages, above "''MediaWiki:Editnotice-8''" (8 is the namespace number of the MediaWiki namespace). This message, however, contains text by default and is translated into the user language.

;Creating new pages:
:While creating a non-existing page, the user interface message "''MediaWiki:Newarticletext''" is displayed.
