Extension talk:PageNotice/Archive

examples needed - where do we put the messages?
FROM: Extension:PageNotice:
 * The PageNotice extension provides a way to define fixed notice messages for the top or the bottom of each page, or entire namespaces. Such fixed messages are defined by creating MediaWiki messages following a special naming pattern:
 * top notice for page XXX: MediaWiki:top-notice-XXX
 * bottom notice for page XXX: MediaWiki:bottom-notice-XXX
 * top notice for pages in namespace NNN: MediaWiki:top-notice-ns-NNN (where NNN is the numeric namespace ID)
 * bottom notice for pages in namespace NNN: MediaWiki:bottom-notice-ns-NNN (where NNN is the numeric namespace ID)

... but where do we put such messages? and how would we format them. any examples? thanks. peblusto 20:48, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

MORE: I'm researching at Special:Allmessages, and Manual:System_message which says:
 * '''Creating new messages
 * Extensions can (and should) define system messages for any text displayed in the user interface. This assists in the localization of those messages. For an example of how to do this, please see Manual:Special pages.

So, I read Manual:Special pages, which says:


 * General Information
 * Special pages ... have unique names that can be customized on a wiki. The general form is "Special:Pagename" where both "Special" and "Pagename" are customizable. ... The name of the special page can also be redefined in a system message, for the site language, with the generic name of the special page as the ID.

... by doing what? How do we "... define fixed notice messages ... fixed messages are defined by creating MediaWiki messages ..."? we're not building special pages, are we?

Has anyone successfully implemented this extension, and could you please provide an example of how you did it?
