Wikipedia has three kinds of top of page messages that can be used to convey information or announcements to readers and editors. The "Sitenotice", found at [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]], is displayed at the top of all pages for all logged-in users, and for annonymous users if [[MediaWiki:Annonnotice]] is empty; this latter message can be used to display information only to readers. Alternatively, by 'blanking' the anonnotice by replacing it with <tt>&lt;p>&lt;/p></tt>, the sitenotice can be used as a "logged-in-notice" to display information only to editors. [[MediaWiki:Watchlist-details]] is displayed at the top of [[Special:Watchlist]] for all users who use this feature.  
* [[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.
 
* [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]] – Visible on top of all pages for all users. Anonymous users see this one too if the anonnotice is empty.
