             Bug #: 29146
           Summary: Implement watchlist notice feature
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General/Unknown
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: b...@mzmcbride.com
    Classification: Unclassified


The English Wikipedia developed a tool in JavaScript called "watchlist
notices."

From
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Software_notices#Watchlist_notice>:
Shows to all users who use a watchlist. Appears above the [[horizontal rule]]
on the watchlist. Controlled by [[MediaWiki:Watchlist-details]]. Dismissable
using JavaScript found in [[MediaWiki:Common.js/watchlist.js]].

This is a rather hackish implementation (relying on an unrelated system
message). This feature (including the cookie dismissability) should be
implemented in a MediaWiki extension or in core. It'd be useful to have on
other Wikimedia wikis.

Perhaps integrated with CentralNotice? Who knows.
