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!
