Wikipedia has five kinds of top-of-page messages that can be used to convey information or announcements to readers and editors. The "Sitenotice", found at MediaWiki:Sitenotice, is displayed at the top of all pages for all logged-in users, and for anonymous users if the following message is empty. MediaWiki:Anonnotice can be used to display information only to anonymous/IP users, not logged-in users. Alternatively, by 'blanking' the anonnotice and replacing it with nothing (not even a space or empty paragraph!), then the sitenotice can be used as a "logged-in users only" notice to display information only to editors. When "Anonnotice" contains nothing, no notice is shown to anonymous users. When it contains "-" it disables the message in favour of Sitenotice. If it contains anything else, it will be rendered to anonymous users instead of the Sitenotice (including a "hide" button). MediaWiki:Watchlist-messages is displayed at the top of Special:Watchlist for all users who use this feature. The CentralNotice, found at meta:Special:CentralNotice, is an extension which can display banners at the top of a select group of Wikimedia sites simultaneously. Geonotice, at Wikipedia:Geonotice, allows location-specific notices – and is a candidate for integration into MediaWiki.

I think there has already been a watchlist message for this event, which ran for a week. We probably shouldn't bombard people with these messages. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:01, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. --qedk (t 愛 c) 12:00, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all! Would love to give The Core Contest a shout out to draw in more folks. Thinking a week long notice, beginning whenever possible (we like to draw in people early so they have time to prepare). I imagine the text we used last year would suffice:

Editors are invited to sign up for The Core Contest, an initiative running from April 15 to May 31, which aims to improve vital and other core articles on Wikipedia.

Thanks, Aza24 (talk) 02:40, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Aza24:  Done, but also, you didn't use ((Edit fully-protected)), better to do that to get more admin eyes. --qedk (t 愛 c) 12:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah good point, but thank you anyways Aza24 (talk) 14:37, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
