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?

I think you want to set on MediaWiki:wikimedia-copyrightwarning {{#ifeq:{{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|1}}|WMDOC|Contributions to this page are in public domain| (original message content) }}

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 initiativehttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/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.

I did it based off of what Ryan suggested: * http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Editnotice-0-WMDOC (works for main "WMDOC" page and all subpages) * http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=WMDOC/Projects_one-pager&act... (example of it in action)
Is this what you had in mind?
(agreed this is a great idea)

Yes, that's perfect! Sorry for not replying earlier.
