The complete hack of an extension you're looking for is Extension:HeadersFooters by yours truly.

It's experimental right now, but I am using it on a production private wiki. It has many problems, which I hope some good error reporting will slowly solve, and I can solve as I learn more about MW.

Keep in mind HeadersFooters adds wikitext to the actual article, which means you can use it with things like Extension:Cite and Extension:Headertabs and those extensions will parse the headers and footers within the context of the article (say by adding a references footer to all articles in a category or namespace).

You can set global, per-namespace, per-category, per-page headers or footers.

And please report any problems / bugs / problems! The trickiest part right now is page cache stuff, which I still don't think is perfect (I think if you save a page I don't re-generate a header'ed cache, you need to purge the page manually).

I've searched mediawiki endlessly, but I can't seem to find an answer as to how to Selectively add html/wikitext to the top of articles while they are being displayed to the user.

So if I had a Namespace:, I want every page within the namespace to have a piece of html tagged to the top of the page while it is being display to a user.

Could anyone clue me in to a hook or way to do this?
