Sitenotice is cached pretty aggressively, and will be more so in the future.
It's probably not safe to assume you can get per-page information into the site
notice text.

Thank you for your comment, Brion.

So, questions:

• How about putting them [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]?
• Can we ask you developers to localize "toolbox" on the left column to

including such per-page information?

It is not necessary to put it on the sitenotice, and even it is safe, it seems
ideal to put per-page function like "cache the page" into the toolbox to sort
information logically.

Huh?

The sidebar is also subject to aggressive caching, in fact, one could argue it's
even *more* aggressive than the sitenotice.

The toolbox is generated in the skin code with contextual links relevant to the
page being viewed - special pages, article views, old revisions, etc. all have
different links in the toolbox.

It's not clear exactly what you want us to do.

Thak you for your answers.
We'd like to put a "refresh this page" link to the sidebar or sitenotice.

I don't understand what you mean by "refresh this page" in this context; it has
multiple uses when applied to a MediaWiki wiki.

Both the sidebar and sitenotice(s) are cached. This is to save processing time
and help speed up page views. As a result of this caching, magic words such as
{{PAGENAME}} and so forth will not work as usual.

I meant,
[{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=purge}} refresh this page]
