Have a hook or such so that messages can be delivered to the users via a standard single way. We had a quick discussion about this in #mediawiki: > <p858snake|_> also LQT really should activate the big orange new message bar when someone leaves a message on your talk page > <Ashlee> p858snake|_: Maybe. The orange bar is kind of horrible. > <^d> It would be nice if we had some standard way to inject things up there. > <Ashlee> Up where? > <p858snake|_> without it, if the person doesn't know to look for it they probably miss the fact that they have new messages\ > <Ashlee> The orange bar also still goes below the <h1>, which is just wrong. > <^d> Ashlee: Where new messages, central notice, etc. > <^d> Should all go above the <h1> > <Ashlee> All the notices already do. > <Ashlee> There's an old bug about the new messages bar. 12XXX something. > <^d> Reinventing the wheel is nasty. > <Ashlee> https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12681 > <^d> Would be nice if there was just something like $wgOut->addPreHeaderContent() or something.
Today this is implemented with https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo_%28Notifications%29 "Up there" is the number of pending messages next to the User link. Resolving as WORKSFORME since this is what I could deduce from your description. Please reopen if this is not correct.
