2. Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

wfLoadExtension( 'Sitenotice2' );

3. ✔️Done - Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

👀 Notes

⚠️ This extension should not be used with DismissableSiteNotice. It was created based on that extension, so it has all the functionality that DismissableSiteNotice already had.

🧞 Configurations

Available configurations

⚙️	Name	Description	Values	Default
⚙️	$wgDismissableSiteNoticeForAnons	This allows to set whether or not it should be possible for anonymous visitors of the wiki to dismiss the sitenotice shown. Available for MW 1.25 +	true or false	true
⚙️	$wgMajorSiteNoticeID	Integer. The value is stored inside a cookie. When a user decides to close the sitenotice, the current value of $wgMajorSiteNoticeID is saved as well and the closed notice is not shown again. $wgMajorSiteNoticeID now can be incremented when a new text is set up as sitenotice. If $wgMajorSiteNoticeID has inbetween been incremented, then the sitenotice is shown again, even if the user closed an older sitenotice before.	true or false	0

🕹️ Usage

When you add a new sitenotice and want everyone to see it, change the number on the created page "MediaWiki:Sitenotice id" by one (e.g. if it would be 5, you'd replace the page with the number 6 and so on).

The extension behavior is that it will remember the dismissal by the user and only reset after the number in MediaWiki:Sitenotice_id has been raised. This allows a wiki to make minor updates to a notice without causing it to show again for everybody.

🎨 Configuring Colors

Sitenotice2 was thought to be highly modifiable easily with CSS, so the extension has different variables that are used for the colors displayed in the notice, which allows you to easily modify its appearance.

CSS Variables

⚙️	Name	Description
⚙️	--filter-glass	Filter applied to the entire notice.
⚙️	--sitenotice2-border-radius	border-radius applied to different parts of the notice, both in the main container and on the left border.
⚙️	--sitenotice2-border	Border-color
⚙️	--sitenotice2-background	Background of the notice.
⚙️	--sitenotice2-background--header	Background for the header. In case you don't want background, just set it to -transparent.
⚙️	--sitenotice2-background--secondary	Background for the left border of the notice.

Example configuration:

/*  🎨 Extension:Sitenotice2 
    -------------------------  */
:root {
	--sitenotice2-border-radius: 6px;
	--sitenotice2-border: #a51919;
