MediaWiki talk:Sitenotice

What is this?
 * What is posted here goes at the top of every article. It was recently used to announce the migration of halopedia.org to halo.wikia.com. --Dragonclaws 07:35, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It can also be use for any kind of site-wide announcements relavent to all of Halopedia, but it tends to mess up templates, so we only use it on occasion. -ED 20:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * So if you dismiss it, can you...undismiss it? Peace. '''[[user:James-001|I ' m  O n  F i r e ! ]]'''  FeedTheFlame    Wa tc hM yS mo <font color=DimGray>ke  23:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think so... unless you clear your cookies. That'll sign you out, but it will "undismiss" it. <font color="#000000">g <font color="#770000">ü <font color="#cc0000">é <font color="#ff0000">ß <font color="#ff3333">Ł <font color="#ff6666">¥ -<font color="#9999ff">π <font color="#6666ff">é <font color="#3333ff">Ґ <font color="#0000ff">∫ <font color="#0000cc">ø <font color="#000066">ñ <font color="#000000">¥ -<font color="#000000">† <font color="#007700">ħ <font color="#00cc00">î <font color="#00ff00">И <font color="#44ff44">g <font color="#99ff99">¥  23:33, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

 * The only way to fix it is clearing your cookies. :-) Cheers, <font color="#D3D3D3">Relen <font color="#A9A9A9">tless <font color="#808080">Recu <font color="#000000">sant 'o the Halopedia Team http://images.wikia.com/halofanon/images/a/ac/Fleet_Admiral.jpg <font color="#A9A9A9">TALK • <font color="A9A9A9">SPEAK 00:01, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You only need to delete your Halopedia cookie, which should be relatively easy to find. -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  22:27, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

YOU shouldn't need to undismiss it... it should only be undismissed when changed. To all Halopedia admins: to undismiss it, increase the number at MediaWiki:Sitenotice id by 1. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 18:48, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You can undismiss it, delete the cookie labeled dismissSiteNotice for halo.wikia.com.

You also don't need to update a seperate template, just add ?action=purge to the end of the URL. --Paradox460: eating toast 05:13, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Era
Now that the era template is in use, we should be careful that the "dismiss" button does not become hidden. This isn't the case now, but perhaps it could be an issue with only one line. -- Dragon<font color="FF0000">c laws ( talk ) 20:03, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think it is an issue now anyway. -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  22:28, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Spoilers
I strongly object to posting leaked spoilers of such importance before the actual game comes out. --<font color="#000000">Dragon<font color="#FF0000">c laws (<font color="#000000">talk ) 21:08, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed, it would just not be a nice thing to do. -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  21:38, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
