Dependency
- MessageCommons — required to make the notices global
Installation
- Download and move the extracted
GlobalNotice
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/GlobalNotice - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'GlobalNotice' );
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration
$wgGlobalNoticeDisplayWarningOnEditPage
- This is by default equal to false. When set to true, a warning will show to the editor who's editing MediaWiki:Forced-globalnotice for informing the purpose of the message.
Usage
- MediaWiki:Forced-globalnotice — a site-wide notice shown for *all* users, no matter what their language is. Used only for things like server migration notices etc.
- 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
