Okay, reviewing http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PageNotice, which is responsible for the <top-notice-pagename> page contents <bottom-notice-pagename>, it says to
"...define fixed notice messages for the top or the bottom of each page ... by creating MediaWiki messages ..."
... but I cannot find a reference or example on how to create a system message! Can anyone be so kind as to direct me to a link showing an example so that I can implement the extension? Thanks!
If I remember correctly, there is a messages.php under the languages folder. Each language has its own. So we use MessagesEn.php
Hope this helps
DSig .. Just Chillin'

Just edit [[Mediawiki:top-notice-pagename]] using a sysop account.
All,
I can't figure out why I can't change the logo.
I have read http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ#How_do_I_change_the_logo.3F and tried to make a 125x135 .png upload it and set the $wgLogo = "/var/www/wiki/images/logo.jpg"; and yet no logo at http://kalvyn.net/wiki .
Any ideas appreciated.

Make sure the line is toward the bottom of your LocalSettings file. Check the value ScriptPath, e.g.
$wgLogo = "$wgScriptPath/skins/common/images/treas_sm.jpg";

Grant,
Generally, anything you add to LocalSettings.php should be at the end. Not only makes them easy to find, but also assures that the variables on which your own lines depend have been read, or confirmed, or eaten, or whatever.
Hi,
you need to change the path to your logo so that it starts at your www-root-directory (I think it should be something like /wiki/images/logo.jpg in your case) and not from the operating-system-root-directory.
I've just added a corresponding (and hopefully unambiguous) line to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ#How_do_I_change_the_logo.3F because that difference in root-directories seems to bother a lot of people. ;-)

Yes!
Thank you SO very much. Of the dozens of things I've tried, I never thought of that one. I knew is was something simple I was overlooking.

Challenge: attempt to use no logo ("my site just doesn't want a logo", or "my site is for visually disabled persons who couldn't see a logo anyway".) You'll see there's no way just to put a piece of text there or whatever. Whatever you do you must at least issue a HTTP request each view. 404 Not found or not, still a waste.
Just edit skins/Monobook.php and delete the #p-logo div from the php skin, and do the same for other skins if you want. As for those for visually disabled persons... The site would probably be better with a custom skin designed for ease of use with their computer. $wgLogo isn't used anywhere other than defining the logo for the skins... And there are actually some skins which use a different logo than what's defined by that. Custom though... eg: Wikia's Quartz skins use a "Wiki_wide.png" which is actually 266x75px to give more horizontal room and avoid taking up to much vertical space pushing content down the page. ((It might be an idea to create a new variable $wgLogos which is an array with a '###x###' key with the logo size it's made for... So Monobookesque skins will just use '155x155' and skins using other sizes can grab a logo of a different size to avoid stretches in any skin)).

I don't suppose creating a logo that is one pixel in size would suffice?

That would still require a separate HTTP request.
You could update the skins for the wiki and replace the logo with a simple <p> or <hx> tag of the sites title?
