Related discussion about using global banners for non-fundraising: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Global_banners I'm afraid I don't have any great suggestions for determining whether a global banner is necessary and at what level (for all users on all projects, only certain projects, only logged-in users, etc.). Perhaps a requests page of some kind is needed at Meta-Wiki with guidelines for what the available options are, what's generally appropriate for specific types of messages, and offer a place for people to submit banner requests?
