When you go to a page like http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NoticeTemplate/view&template=2010_testing44 there are helpful "insert" links. When you click "hide link" for example, it inserts some code into the <textarea>. The returned code that's inserted into the textarea is hardcoded into the extension files. Instead of hardcoding it, it would be nice if it could insert the contents of a MediaWiki message. Like clicking "hide link" would insert the contents of "MediaWiki:Centralnotice-hide-link-insert". This will allow better and easier customization in the future (if we want to remove brackets from the "translate" link for example) without requiring developer/sysadmin intervention.
Good idea. Will try to squeeze this in before the fundraiser if possible.
This was added for the fundraiser, although due to objections to this sort of wikimedia-specific customization I'm planning on removing it soon. For next year, I'll probably be developing some kind of "shared banner component" interface that will make this issue obsolete.
