deficient
Perhaps it's my imagination, but the information on the main article page appears slightly deficient. Davydog 15:46, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Wikilink fail
Not sure what's going on, but MediaWiki:Sitenotice looks like

Bugzilla etiquette guideline drafted: help complete it.

while on the pages of the site, the notice comes up as

Bugzilla etiquette guideline drafted: help complete it.

It looks like it is replacing the wikilink with with bold. This is something I would associate with wikilinks to the page itself (e.g. in navigation templates) but that doesn't appear to apply here.

Is everyone getting this problem?

I am using Google Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m (and it says "Google Chrome is up to date.")

 * OK... so as soon as I saved the above message, the problem disappeared. I am now getting the correct site message at the top of my screen.  Very weird.  Yaris678 (talk) 12:45, 28 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the report. Weird indeed and I doubt it can be your browser's fault, I have no idea what to do. Your hint may be the right one, probably the sitenotice was cached in that version when someone visited the linked page; I'll replace it with an interwiki link. --Nemo 13:14, 28 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Cool. That makes sense.  Thanks.  Yaris678 (talk) 15:47, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Phabricator RFC
I think the Phabricator RFC should probably be advertised with a site-wide announcement, given that we're talking about a change of tools that would basically impact almost every user of mediawiki.org. Does anyone object to using a sitenotice for this? Something like: Test Phabricator and comment on its potential use to replace Bugzilla, Gerrit and other project management tools. I'm thinking of letting it run until the next milestone (April 28) and see if it makes sense to keep it longer then. guillom 16:09, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
 * +1. But use an interwiki link to avoid the problem above. --Nemo 16:29, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
