Forum:Dismissible messages

Could someone please direct me to a page that tells me how to make a message, that will appear at the top of all pages on a wiki, and can be dismissed if the user wishes. Such as the one, currently telling users to change their bookmarks, on the Redwall wiki (w:c:redwall).
Thank you,

- Just change MediaWiki:Sitenotice to your desired message. Every time you change the message, though, you need to change MediaWiki:Sitenotice id to the next highest number. There's also MediaWiki:Anonnotice for a message to anon users. swannie 02:01, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you, very much!

- If the Sitenotice ID is left unchanged, the new message won't show for anyone who dismissed the old message. Sometimes this is desirable though (eg. if it's just a minor spelling fix). - Adan Aileron (talk) 12:10, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
