This page was created on January 16, 2005 (one day after Wikipedia Day). It is the equivalent of MediaWiki:Sitenotice except that it shows up only for unregistered (anonymous) users. According to the developers, by either deleting this page or setting it to -, MediaWiki software will fall back to the SiteNotice. Flcelloguy (A note?) 03:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

There is a propsal at MediaWiki talk:Sitenotice#Wikileaks that would probably be more appropriate here. Rd232 suggested today that per Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Main_page_disclaimer and Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2010-12-06/WikiLeaks:
"Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation are not associated with the whistleblowing site Wikileaks, despite a similarity in names"
be displayed. A few editors suggested that since editors would probably be aware already, the notice be restricted to anons and readers only. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 17:40, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
