Wikipedia has three kinds of top of page messages that admins can edit:
+
|text=Wikipedia has five kinds of top of page messages that can be used to convey information or announcements to readers and editors.
* [[MediaWiki:Anonnotice]] – Visible on top of all pages for not logged in users. If this message is empty then the system instead shows the sitenotice to those users. A trick is to set the anonnotice to for instance <tt>&lt;p>&lt;/p></tt> so it doesn't display anything but still prevents the not logged in users from seeing the sitenotice.
+
# The "Sitenotice", found at '''[[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]]''', is displayed at the top of all pages for all logged-in users, and for anonymous users if the following message is empty.
* [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]] – Visible on top of all pages for all users. Anonymous users see this one too if the anonnotice is empty.
+
# '''[[MediaWiki:Anonnotice]]''' can be used to display information only to readers, not editors.  Alternatively, by 'blanking' the anonnotice and replacing it with nothing (not even a space or empty paragraph!), then the sitenotice can be used as a "logged-in users only" notice to display information only to editors. When "Anonnotice" contains nothing, no notice is shown to anonymous users. When it contains "-" it disables the message in favour of Sitenotice. If it contains anything else, it will be rendered to anonymous users instead of the Sitenotice (including a "hide" button).
 +
# '''[[MediaWiki:Watchlist-messages]]''' is displayed at the top of [[Special:Watchlist]] for all users who use this feature.
 +
# The CentralNotice, found at '''[[meta:Special:CentralNotice]]''', is an extension which can display banners at the top of a select group of Wikimedia sites simultaneously.
 +
# Geonotice, at '''[[Wikipedia:Geonotice]]''' allows location-specific notices; and is a candidate for integration into MediaWiki.
