DismissableSiteNotice extension for MediaWiki

The DismissableSiteNotice extension allows users to close the sitenotice, using Javascript and cookies.

Configuration

• $wgDismissableSiteNoticeForAnons: false by default. Set to true to allow unregistered users to dismiss the sitenotice.

• $wgDismissableSiteNoticeCloseIcon: false by default. Set to true to replace the textual close link with an icon.

• When you add a new sitenotice and want everyone to see it, you can change one of the following (the code takes them both into account):

  • [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice id]] - set to a higher number than the current.
  • $wgSiteNoticeId: set to a higher number than last.

• To change the text of the "Hide" link, you can edit [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice_close]]. If you want to remove or change the enclosing parantheses, edit [[MediaWiki:sitenotice_close-brackets]].
