Editing MediaWiki talk:Sitenotice

== "get a coffee" -> "sit by a lake" ==

The (admin-editable only) sitenotice currently suggests to go "get a coffee" while things stabilize about the heavy server load. I'd say it would be much more appropriate to suggest instead to go "[http://xkcd.com/1024/ sit by a lake]" [[File:Face-smile.svg|20px]] (with the appropriate link to xkcd.com, not here...). - [[User:Cos|Cos]] ([[User talk:Cos|talk]]) 23:14, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

: Great idea! {{done}} :) --[[User:Waldir|Waldir]] ([[User talk:Waldir|talk]]) 12:26, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

== Note at the top, about the server error ==

The message is a little out-dated, as the comic ([[1190: Time]]) is not the latest anymore. I propose that the second sentence be changed to say "... in light of [[1190: Time]] ..."
Also, it would provide a quick, easy link to 1190: Time. 
Just a thought.

: Good point, I'll change it :) --[[User:Waldir|Waldir]] ([[User talk:Waldir|talk]]) 11:58, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

:: Well, I think the message is now getting completely obsolete, things seem to have returned to a normal enough state to remove it, no? - [[User:Cos|Cos]] ([[User talk:Cos|talk]]) 12:27, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

-== Suggested addition ==
-I think we should use <code><nowiki>{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|240:Dream Girl|This is today's incomplete explanation of the day.|Today's...is 240: Dream Girl.}} Help us fix it!</nowiki></code>. This would provide a better message for those visiting the actual page. -- [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.220|108.162.219.220]] 15:14, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
-:It would have been a good idea, but I forgot about Mediawiki namespaces. Sitenotice isn't transcluded into pages, it's a separate thing appended to the top of a page, so it doesn't inherit the current page name.

-== Updating frequently ==
-Currently, I think the incomplete comic of the day should be changed more often (i.e. daily), since the incomplete comics are piling up, and most users aren't seeing the notice, as it is dismissible.--[[User:17jiangz1|17jiangz1]] ([[User talk:17jiangz1|talk]]) 11:10, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
-== This needs to be updated ==
-You need to change this, the explanation for 1835 is no longer incomplete ([[explain xkcd:Explanation Completion Project]] also needs updating). If you had the dynamic page list extension installed you could randomly select a comic in the incomplete explanations cat and this wouldn't be a problem.
