I strongly recommend requesting watchlist notices on

less disruptive than a CentralNotice banner, and it will reach many of the
active users (the users who are most likely to be fielding all the
questions about the change).
This is a easy request to fulfill... except for the translation issue. Do
you just mean English? Or the larger versions across languages? I can do an
English watchlist notice on our larger projects, but have never gotten
these translated before. Feel free to advise off-list.
I'll go ahead and charge forward with an English-language watchlist notice
to run at least a week before the change is live on most Wikimedia
projects. Erica, Jan, and others who do outreach to non-English communities
may be able to help as well.
