Forum:How to create an edit notice on Wikia?

How do you create an edit notice on Wikia? Edit notices are messages that appear when you edit specific pages, that can notify the user of what they can edit and what they cannot, or rules that they have to follow. I first saw a Wikia edit notice on the Children's Books Wiki, where two edit notices showed up (don't actually create the page, please). I would like to now how to create these edit notices. I tried simply copying the source code from Wikipedia, but that doesn't work.  CobraStrike  ( t )( b )(c) 14:22, June 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Edit notices can be created in the same way as on Wikipedia, but the limitation is that while magic words, parser functions and templates work, other wikitext doesn't. So you can create an edit notice at  for the mainspace for instance,   for talk pages,   for user pages etc. If you want to emulate Wikipedia's approach closely, just create those MediaWiki pages with only a template, and then create that template. Hope that wasn't too confusing!  The 888th Avatar   (talk)  09:44, June 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Is there any way to make edit notices on specific pages, or on forums, since Wikipedia does not have a numeric tag for forums (being that there are no forums on Wikipedia). -- CobraStrike  ( t )( b )(c) 14:25, June 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * To create edit notices for specific pages, you essentially have to copy the Wikipedia approach: create a template, transclude it on the MediaWiki pages, and create more templates where text and other customisations can be entered etc. etc. It's quite a complicated approach that can only be explained by seeing their approach and copying it (mostly) piece by piece.


 * The namespace number for forums on Wikia is 110. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  11:04, June 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * You can create edit notices for a specific page, e.g.,.


 * Note that edit notices for forum namespace (and any non-default namespaces) will not work as intended: the wikimarkup will not render for the default skin. --··· d·day! 17:08, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
