Doh! Thanks for pointing out what I shoulda seen fer myself! I'll toggle it on and off and see what comes, though I changed the page name to use 'single' quote marks in the name and the problem went away, so, as always, I have an immediate work-around. Quick eye, Thomas - THANKS!
From: "Peter Blaise" when a page renders in the browser, I get:
<top-notice-pagename> ...regular page contents as expected... <bottom-notice-pagename> I didn't notice when building my wiki that "" (two quote characters") in the page name cause this rather strange behavior, such as for a page named: [[New "Old" Stories]] == Version: == (if you care) MediaWiki: 1.10.0 [... and so on ... then:] - PageNotice lets you define a fixed header or footer message for each page or namespace.

From: "Thomas" It's a problem with the PageNotice extension, almost certainly. Try contacting the author.
