Design[edit]

I think the colour of the sitenotice is to striking, now. Perhaps another colour might be better. --SonicR 11:03, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Error 404[edit]

The site notice containing phrase "Wikinews Contest" has been addressed to [1], while you click on it. It shows error 404. I do not know how did it come because previosly it was working properly. Does Mediawiki address to differnt link than other namespaces when we use [[LINK]]. Please someone correct it. Thank you, Shyam (T/C) 20:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, now it is working properly, I do not understand what was the problem? Shyam (T/C) 20:03, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Things in the MediaWiki space have to be addressed differently than in articles, because that's just how it is. MESSEDROCKER 21:14, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Planet wikimedia[edit]

Could the url that this directs to be chaned to en.planet.wikimedia.org as the current version goes to a redirect page. Thanks --MarkieTalk 22:20, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimania[edit]

Wow, I had written up a comment about adding the wikimania registration information to the sitenotice, but left the house before saving it, and lo and behold, it was already done when I returned!

Blame the commoners and the english wikipedians. Bawolff 01:21, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WM Board Election Notice[edit]

Please change "it's" to "its" for grammatical correctness. 209.137.182.35 16:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Sitenotice goes through somewhere in meta during the fundraiser, so this page won't affect anything. Bawolff 19:29, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
