Block display on "edit" page?
I just upgraded to MW 1.16, and my bottom-page-notice is now appearing below the bottom of the edit box and above the "save" button. I don't want it to appear at all, but it definitely needs to appear below the save button. Any way to change this? 24.21.209.170 05:16, 16 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I just installed this extension and have a similar problem on MW 1.17. It is resulting in me not being able to save any pages. Has anyone found a resolution to this issue? --Jcantroot (talk) 19:56, 27 July 2012 (UTC)


 * To append my statement, the "save page" function is working well as long as I do not include an inputbox. I was trying to include a specific search on each page of a namespace with this header and that caused pages to not save.--Jcantroot (talk) 20:12, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

All articles, except the main page?
Is there anyway to put a message up on all of the articles, except the main page?

protection needed

if you create a page such as MediaWiki:Bottom-notice-ns-0, you could not protect this page. This could be helpful, if the MediaWiki:Bottom-notice-ns-0 contains a disclaimer for all pages and this disclaimer should only be changed by the administrator.

creating new Mediawiki system messages
create a page such as mediawiki:new-system-message-name and put in it's contents the message you want displayed when the system message is called. thanks to Thomas Daltonmediawiki-l/2008-January/025376.html

pages with quote marks " " in the pagename mess up
pages with quote marks " " in the pagename cause the display of an additional  page contents 

single quotes in the page name seem okay, so we have a work around by renaming (moving) the page.

does anyone have a solution / resolution permitting this extension to work properly with pages that have quote (") marks in the pagename?

Incompatibility with Extension:Ajax Show Editors - MW 1.13 (?)
FYI - when using this with Extension:Ajax Show Editors (MW 1.13.3) we get, for some reason, the bottom notice (namespace 0) at the top of every 'edit this page' view. Since our bottom-notice message is fairly large, this is quite annoying. We have temporarily disabled Ajax Show Editors, but you can contact me via our site to see an example. Version info available here --24.218.221.150 04:50, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Update: I found an easy way to fix this problem. I added a line at the bottom of Hooks.php to the returned wikitext -- this makes use of Extension:VariablesExtension. I then use an #ifeq in the bottom notice (per Extension:ParserFunctions) to hide footer display. --24.218.221.150 13:16, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Hide 'edit' links in notice
Any page this shows on includes 'edit' links on the notice. Once you click edit it takes you to the page you were on, and not the notice. It would be best just to hide these edit links altogether.

Notice before PageTitle
Is it possible to put the pagenotice on the top of the page (before the page title)? - --Ulli 757 22:22, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Hide for logged in users?
Is this possible to show only for guests and not registered users? If so, how? Or if there's a better extension that this, tell me please. :) Using MediaWiki 1.15.2 right now. ZTYusei 14:27, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Ouch.
This seems to me to carry a substantial performance hit. Without this extension enabled and with page content consisting of an infobox, I generally get page loads between 50-100 ms (as measured by MW's page source benchmark). If I move the infobox to the PageNotice for the namespace, load time balloons to upwards of 650 ms. I'm somewhat familiar with PHP but have no knowledge of MediaWiki internals. Is there a faster call that could be used without impacting accuracy?

 * Nevermind. *sigh*  There might indeed be better places to hook in, but due to a constellation of issues these are currently very problematic for this sort of thing.

PageNotice conflict with the Foreground Skin
If you're using the Foreground Skin this extension will cause the Preview Function to fail inside a Semantic Form.Christharp (talk) 01:44, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
