Description

I have a strong feeling that MediaWiki:Sitenotice and MediaWiki:Anonnotice are not being displayed at the moment. It may have started disappearing ~36 hours ago. I have tested on nl.wikipedia.org, and commons.wikimedia.org.

Relevant links (check main page both a logged in user and as anonymous; clear cache and make a page request with CTRL+5 in IE, SHIFT+CTRL+R in FireFox):

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Anonnotice (used)
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sitenotice (currently empty)
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoofdpagina
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciaal:Willekeurig

http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Anonnotice (used)
http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sitenotice (used)
http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Random/Image

MediaWiki:Sitenotice_id may also be relevant, but at least on Commons I have changed that.

Version: 1.12.x

Same issue on de.wikibooks.

It's not simple a problem of displaying the text, the sitenotice is not as useall in the HTML source of every page.
Interresating is, that JavaScript is on that place and that this javascript refers to meta:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NoticeLoader&amp;action=raw"></script>

They're currently not displayed as the central site notice for the fundraiser replaces them.
