http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:FundraiserStatistics http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:ContributionStatistics http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:ContributionTrackingStatistics None of these Special pages have header or footer messages, making modification of them difficult. I want to be able to add a navigation template to the pages so that it's possible to click from one page to another.
"This is a really easy bug to knock out - great for a quick fix by a vet or a really gentle introduction to MediaWiki hacking. It simply requires adding some internationalisation messages (which could be empty) that get loaded in the appropriate place on the page, which can then be overridden on-wiki." -- Arthur Richards
Created attachment 9272 [details] Patch with a separate header and footer message for each page
Created attachment 9273 [details] Patch with only two messages which are loades on each page
Hello, I'm new to MediaWiki hacking, so i hope that this patch is OK. I wasn't quite sure if you want for each page a separate header and footer or one header and footer for all three pages so I've made both options. sixmessages.patch is the patch where each page has it's own header and footer internationalization message. twomessages.patch is the patch with two internationalization messages which are loaded in the appropriate place on each page.
David, thanks for the patch! I'm finding a reviewer to look at your work as soon as possible. In the meantime, please check out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs and try to fix more! :-)

This was deployed to wikimediafoundation.org on 10 November. David, thanks very much for the patch and helping us close this pesky issue!
David, Just wanted to let you know your patch proved to be invaluable tonight. We are currently experiencing technical problems with post-processing of donation information into our tracking system. This means that our fundraiser statistics graph (https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:FundraiserStatistics) is not currently being actively updated. Thanks to your patch, we were able to easily add a notification to the top of the page alerting the many viewers of that graph that it will not be up-to-date until the issue gets resolved. So, many thanks to you for your incredibly valuable contribution :) Arthur Richards Fundraiser engineering lead
