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)Reply

After sandboxing it... edit

<div style="position:absolute; z-index:100; right:15px; top:40px;" class="metadata" id="donate">''<small>Your <span style="color: blue">[[m:Fundraising|continued donations]]</span> keep Wikipedia running!</small>''</div> ...This works wonderfully. Hope my time was productive! R | T | C • 20070418202305

 N Not done. This clashes with {{coor title dms}}, and fails on very large font sizes (it overlaps the horizontal line underneath the page's title). I'm also not convinced it would work on the Main Page (although the current version doesn't work properly there either), but it's hard to test. If you want to submit a revised version, please set your browser's font size to maximum as one of the tests you do when sandboxing; positions hard-coded in pixels normally fail under such conditions. --ais523 11:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikileaks edit

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)Reply

We do not really need it, just another banner which will only add confusion to readers. They know that that 'pedia is not related 'leaks, should be used for public announcements, not disclaimer. extra999 (talk) 15:45, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
