Description MZMcBride 2011-05-26 01:41:38 UTC 
The English Wikipedia developed a tool in JavaScript called "watchlist notices."

From <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Software_notices#Watchlist_notice>:
Shows to all users who use a watchlist. Appears above the [[horizontal rule]] on the watchlist. Controlled by [[MediaWiki:Watchlist-details]]. Dismissable using JavaScript found in [[MediaWiki:Common.js/watchlist.js]].

This is a rather hackish implementation (relying on an unrelated system message). This feature (including the cookie dismissability) should be implemented in a MediaWiki extension or in core. It'd be useful to have on other Wikimedia wikis.

Perhaps integrated with CentralNotice? Who knows.
Comment 1 MZMcBride 2012-06-14 11:37:56 UTC 
Bumping this, as the lack of a CentralNotice alternative is becoming more and more of an issue.
Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2014-03-12 15:33:44 UTC 
Obviously not a high priority (no progress in 21 months) plus no assignee here...  Setting priority to Normal.
