MediaWiki:Editnotice-8-Sitenotice

How to use MediaWiki:Sitenotice

• Only show one message at a time. Be concise, as no one wants to read all that. People don't even finish reading 280 character tweets.
• Only add major announcements; avoid constant use to prevent banner blindness as much as possible.
• You must increment the number at MediaWiki:Sitenotice id when publishing a new sitenotice (rather than just correcting, updating, or removing a message) in order to redisplay the notice for users who have dismissed it previously. See Manual:Interface/Sitenotice for more information.
• The Template:Sitenotice exists to easily create formatted site notices, see the template's documentation for more info.
• If creating a completely custom site notice %CLOSE% can be used to put the close (dismiss) button at a given location (default is top right of the page).
• Put announcements on Template:Old School RuneScape Wiki/Wiki Messages as sitenotice is not shown on the Main Page.
