I'm interested in displaying a banner similar to the ones found on en.wikipedia.org (and probably *.wikipedia.org) from the Fundraising 2011 campaign. I like the style (thin border, 'close' button) and was wondering where I could find the template for it, or any docs. I hunted around and came up with this page (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2011 ), but still can't find the templates. Any ideas *core* people?

Hi,
I assume you're using MediaWiki. We use a fairly complex extension for deploying banners across our many sites, called CentralNotice. It's meant for multiple wikis and I can't provide support for setting it up myself, but I can tell you that the banners are made from a template in HTML code. You can take a look at the preferences for one fundraising banner at http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NoticeTemplate/view&...
I hope this helps a bit.

Tell me if I misunderstand you, but if you just need the style, it is stored in stylesheets (CSS). So look at the source of the HTML page, look for "class" in it, and copy that class to another page; the same lookout should be reproduced. If you want to use it in a non-WMF wiki, you may have to steal :-) the CSS file itself.
Bináris, Yes, that's what I was investigating...but I was hoping there was something easier. I love the internet - it's amazing what you can "borrow" from other sites without any help.

I think a CSS class is the template *itself *you are looking for.
