Hi again,

Since this list seems to be active again, I thought I'd ask for a little help :)

I would like to import the editnotices system from en.wikipedia to meta-wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editnotice

We may not need all of these features. My personal use for it would be
to automatically add the text of {{PD notice}} to all the subpages of
[[m:WMDOC]] in edit mode. It would be easier, faster and more
consistent.

Any user well-versed in this kind of tech stuff willing to help please?

The editnotices on en.wikipedia are different than other sites so that page isn't accurate for Meta.

To create an edit notice on Meta, you create it at MediaWiki:Editnotice-#-Title.  # is the namespace number and title is the page title.  By default, the edit notice for a parent page is applied to all subpages.  this can be avoided with template trickery. 

See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/MediaWiki:Editnotice- for all edit notices currently in use on Meta.

So for an edit notice for WMDOC and its subpages, create it at MediaWiki:Editnotice-0-Wikimedia documents initiative.  If you then want that edit notice to be different for different subpages, I can show you how to accomplish that (but won't bother adding it now in case you don't).

Hope this helps.
