Hi.
Skimming <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Action>,
it seems inevitable that some kind of banner (or "blackout" banner, which is
apparently equivalent to an extra-large banner) will be implemented.
The question becomes: how will this be implemented? I assume some kind of
CentralNotice banner with some CSS absolute positioning or something? Is
that right? Or will it be part of a separate extension?
Primarily I'd like to know if "#siteNotice {display:none !important;}" will
continue to work. If so, there's no further action that needs to be taken.
If it's going to be put into a weird extension or something, I'd personally
favor an edit count check or a "leave me alone" user preference. The
regulars really don't need to be bothered by this obnoxiousness.
And, click-through banner or not, I think obscuring Special:UserLogin is a
poor idea.
I'm not quite sure who's working on this from the tech side, but if anyone
has details about the (proposed) banner's implementation and could share,
that'd be great.
