The site message would get this link across to everyone instantly, no matter what article they came in from. Also, to answer TSH's query, I presume site notices will be able to be dismissed like they are on desktop.}} | The site message would get this link across to everyone instantly, no matter what article they came in from.

{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 16:06, 15 May 2015 (UTC)|default=Good question, it goes to the main page but I think that can be fixed.

{{TheSilentHero|time=16:26, 15 May 2015 (UTC)|reyn=It is <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki>. Also, should we have a reverse link (from desktop mode to mobile)?}} | |||
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 16:50, 15 May 2015 (UTC)|confused=Oh right! Do we have a template that also includes the namespace of the article too? <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> does not, so for example Forum:Mobile Site Message only becomes "Mobile Site Message". | |||
Also, there are links at the bottom to change view.}} | |||

I [http://www.khwiki.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sitenotice&diff=671133&oldid=671131 gave it a go] originally (and the extra E formats the page name as a URL) but it didn't work due to caching.

{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 17:00, 16 May 2015 (UTC)|sad=The desktop/mobile link found at the bottom of the site takes you back to the page you were on. What's different there?}} | |||
Correct. The difference is that the footer is generated on each page load by the theme and the site notice content is saved once you save MediaWiki:Sitenotice. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]) 20:05, 18 May 2015 (UTC) | |||
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 20:23, 18 May 2015 (UTC)|default=If that's the case, do we want to keep the site notice, knowing that the link may prove a hindrance, or should we scrap it and possibly look down other avenues? I'm wondering whether it'll be possible to add the Desktop link to the collapsed, tap-in sidebar, which is slightly bare at the moment. Thoughts crew?}} | |||
Ok, I got the site notice and link working as originally intended by incorporating it into the skin. I hid it for logged-in users since I figured the notice is really for new visitors but I can make it permanent or dismissible for logged-in users as well (the dismiss link made it look worse). --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]) 23:43, 18 May 2015 (UTC) | |||
