Add support for per-category editnotices
Open, LowPublic

Description

To avoid use of a js hack and for increased compatibility, such as with visual editor (cf T56029), this is a request to support per-category editnotices. This had already been discussed in T20596, but the prospect of extension PageInCat being implemented, even for mediawiki pages, seems remote.

When will this patch get merged?

In addition to allowing BLP editnotices to be added with less hacks, WikiProjects can make use of this feature too.

@Aklapper Hello, can you help me? Should I create a new patch for this?

@Cenarium: I am resetting the assignee of this task because there has not been progress lately (please correct me if I am wrong!). Resetting the assignee avoids the impression that somebody is already working on this task. It also allows others to potentially work towards fixing this task. Please claim this task again when you plan to work on it (via Add Action...Assign / Claim in the dropdown menu) - it would be welcome. Thanks for your understanding!

If T50175 is doable, it's probably the best way to do this. That would enable other functionality and enable wikis to properly customize when they load editnotices.
