As for the edit notices, I have never done that myself. However, I have run into mentions of it before so I did a little digging. Thank you, I got this implemented and it works as expected.

To add to your knowledge on this: On new article creation, Newarticle text is displayed first, then Editnotice-x with a separator between them in the name notice. In my implementation, I created Editnotice-0 through Editnotice-15, then Editnotice-112 to Editnotice-115 to cover my custom namespaces and their talk pages. To simplify things, I have all of these call my Template:OnEditnotice, which is similar to my Template:OnNewarticletext, and I #switch: on { {NAMESPACE}}.

Also, links within the edit notices work as expected, where clicking on a link, instead of closing the editor, will open a new tab. I'm using my Editnotice to display a link to my monster rules documentation to the section which governs content for the page type (and will eventually switch on the SATS type (i.e. different rules for mission pages content vs. character pages). I'm also using it to nag the editor into creating and signing the talk page for the article.

Newarticle text will now generally display a notice about which template to use, in a tag box with the text { {subst:NewArticlePage}} depending on the page type, so the editor can simply copy and paste the template directly into the editor from the notice (works the same for both VE and SE).

I think the system should work rather well, while not completely automatic, the information I want to communicate is presented effectively.
