Forum:How do I make messages that will be displayed to all visitors?

Just like in the donation message in Wikipedia, how do I create a similar effect?

 * Add a message in your MediaWiki:Sitenotice, when doing so be sure to increment the number in MediaWiki:Sitenotice id so that people who have 'dismissed' it will see a new one. -- Sixorish 04:42, 8 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I would note that's only for registered users. MediaWiki:Anonnotice is for anonymous readers. --LordTBT Talk! 04:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm fairly sure if no anonnotice is specified, the sitenotice is shown to all users. (But only logged in users can [dismiss] it.) 15:42, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Correct, and if both are specified, anonymous users will see both. -- 16:26, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't believe I they see both - WoWWiki has had separate site- and anonnotices for a long while, and it would only show one of them. 20:51, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't either, I don't think that's accurate. -- LordTBT Talk! 00:17, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I see both when logged out on FFXIclopedia. So something is different. -- 20:49, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

To simplify matters, I'll just link Help:Site notice. :) 17:06, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * The way so logged out users see the Site notice too is to include it by adding in the anonnotice. — TulipVorlax 18:30, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
