For mobile editor only or for the desktop editor, too? I think this message should be visible for editors who can edit the page, only (not on viewsource)?

Do you really think, that the message is understandable for a "normal" wiki user? :/ And what is TemplateStyles? Maybe I missed something :]

Hi Florian please see the blocking task and corresponding extension. Yes I think this would only show in the editor after hitting save and I envision it mainly working on desktop interface.

I'm sure the message can be improved. Feel free to have an attempt at a second draft.
