- MediaWiki:Globalnotice — global notice, depending on the user's language. This can be used to show language-specific stuff to users with a certain interface language (i.e. "We need more French translators! Pouvez-vous nous aider ?" on MediaWiki:Globalnotice/fr to show the message to all users with French as their interface language)
- MediaWiki:Globalnotice-sysop — a site-wide notice shown to all administrators (depending on language; MediaWiki:Globalnotice-sysop/fr to show a notice to all French sysops etc.)
- MediaWiki:Globalnotice-bureaucrat — see above, but for bureaucrats
- MediaWiki:Globalnotice-bot — see above...
- MediaWiki:Globalnotice-rollback — once again, see above
