Extension:DismissableSiteNotice

The DismissableSiteNotice extension allows users to close the sitenotice, using cookies. When you add a new sitenotice and want everyone to see it, change the number on the created page "MediaWiki:Sitenotice id" by one (e. g. if it would be 5, you'd replace the page with the number 6 and so on).

Configuration
This extension provides two configuration parameters:

???
 * $wgMajorSiteNoticeID

This allows to set whether or not it should be possible for anonymous visitors of the wiki to dismiss the sitenotice shown. Defaults to "false", i.e. No. Available for MW 1.25 +
 * $wgDismissableSiteNoticeForAnons

How to auto-reset dismissal after every edit to MediaWiki:Sitenotice

The default is that it will remember the dismissal by the user and only reset after the number in has been raised. This allows a wiki to make minor updates to a notice without causing it to show again for everybody.

Some sites may not need this additional control and may want to reset it no matter the change. The below code change will reset ("re-display") the sitenotice whenever the message is edited. This eliminates the need for the "sitenotice_id" message entirely.

In DismissableSiteNotice.php change the one line of extension code:
