Admin Forum:How do you make announcements in the bottom left corner?

I'd like to use these on my wikis.
 * Go to MediaWiki:Communitymessages-notice-msg, and put whatever message you want displayed there. Keep it short and simple so it fits in the box, and use this for a dismiss link at the end:

(dismiss)


 * To display the message, go to MediaWiki:Community-corner and copy/paste the folllowing:


 * This is where you can refresh the announcements bubble by changing the number. So when you change the actual announcement at MediaWiki:Communitymessages-notice-msg, go back to MediaWiki:Community-corner and change the number to 2. I'm not sure exactly how that works <.< but that's how we have it on our wiki, and I successfully recreated it on my own wiki. (: 18:11, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * There's also some javascript that can be used to make custom notifications without changing the community-corner notice, which can be helpful if you still want people to know that the community-corner has been updated. 18:16, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
