Description Mike Peel 2009-02-28 14:55:40 UTC
Please could the CentralNotice extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CentralNotice) be disabled on the Wikimedia UK chapter website (ukwikimedia)?

If I understand things correctly, this is responsible for Wikimedia Foundation notices being displayed in the sitenotice for the wiki. These aren't really appropriate for the chapter website, and may lead to the perception that Wikimedia UK has more control over Wikipedia et al. then we do (which is tricky from a legal situation, with the UK's libel laws).

Thanks in advance.

Change on InitialiseSettings.php:

'wmgUseCentralNotice' => array(
    'default' => true, 
    'metawiki' => true, // Central interface
    'testwiki' => true,
    'tlhwiki' => false, // :P :)
    'private' => false, // :D
+    'ukwikimedia' => false
),

Probably worth removing private/fishbowl wikis as well. Maybe not tlhwiki though. Nice try.
Comment 3 Katie Chan 2009-04-14 20:13:10 UTC
Would just like to chase this up. Thanks. :)
Comment 4 Rob Halsell 2009-04-15 14:35:10 UTC
Done.
Comment 5 str4nd 2010-12-22 22:12:19 UTC
Wikimedia Finland (fiwikimedia) should have CN disabled as well. We can't show fundraising banners in our website without permission from local authorities.
Comment 6 Rob Halsell 2011-04-06 17:05:22 UTC
I went ahead and disabled it on fiwikimedia.  In the future, you will want to open NEW tickets to disable this on other wikis.
