Description Adam Wight 2013-04-29 06:03:10 UTC
I have "1 notice", "You are using an alpha version....".

1. Clicking the notice, it pops up.
2. Click the message contents, the popup hides.

"1 notice" remains.  Maybe it will go away when I save the page I'm editing?

3. Save the page, and edit again.

The notice is still there, and even expands when the editor is started.  Blargh!

The notices are urgent notifications about the page, not about the user. They're intended to always display, just like the editnotices they replace.

Theoretically we could have per-user nullification of these, but that'd be messy. Another idea (perhaps?) is to not auto-display the OMG-this-is-so-important-all-users-must-acknowledge nature of editnotices and the like. However, this seems to fly against the underlying purpose of the notices.

Marking as WONTFIX.
