What can this extension do?

This extension includes a system message at the top of a certain page.

Usage

To add a header to a page, create a page at "MediaWiki:Header-NS-PAGE" where NS is the numerical namespace code (e.g. 2 = User, 4 = Project) and PAGE is the page where you want it to show (excluding the namespace).

Example: To add a header on "Talk:Foo", create a page at "MediaWiki:Header-1-Foo" (page names without quotation marks, of course).
