Thread:Project:Support desk/Display template on every page

I'd like to display a template on every page that puts some small content just underneath the user menu using a span with CSS position:absolute element. I tried specifying it in Mediawiki:Sitenotice, which gets the content to the desired location, but it inserts a blank line above the article title (so for every page, the title is lower than the normal position). Is there another way to display the template or tweak the display to get around this? Thanks!
