Forum:Editing special pages

Hi! Is it possible to add tips in the top of a page we are editing like in wikipedia? Example. Thanks.

 * What exactly are you trying to do?:The example does not illustrate tips being added so I am left guessing as to your goal. In addition to MediaWiki:Newarticletext (which will appear for the first tme you create a page but not on subsequent edits of an existing page) there are
 * Help:Preloaded_templates (same qualifying note applies).
 * MediaWiki:Edittools however, that message is displayed below the edit window not above it. The virtue is that it appears on every edit page so if it's just a random tip and not a specific tip you wish to display then it may be suitable to use the next idea within MediaWiki:Edittools.
 * Help:WidgetTag - If it is one random tip from among several available tips that you wish to display then you should also consider leveraging the Tips widget via a  pseudo-tag (read more at Help:WidgetTag). viz.

Tips
 * Caveat/bug: This will display a single random tip but it also displays the < > buttons just as they appear in the Monaco-sidebar. Unfortunately those links do not cause the displayed tip to advance through the list maintained at MediaWiki:Tips.
