I guess the expectations are based on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sitenotice :)

Hi Arne, yes, that about summerizes it. I tried putting a   in the Anonnotice, that didn't work and the '- ' didn't work either. Should it be more characters?
But it only keeps displaying on the Homepage, not on the other pages?

Looking at the code, I see the following:

• If the user is logged-in:
  • Consider Sitenotice, used if it is not blank or disabled.
• Else - if the user is anonymous:
  • Consider Anonnotice, used if it is not blank or disabled.
  • If it is blank, display nothing.
  • If is it disabled:
    • Consider Sitenotice, used if it is not blank or disabled.

This means that the documentation I see in Dutch on nl.wikipedia.org's edit notice for editing "sitenotice" and "anonnotice" messages appears to be correct.

I also confirmed locally in the software that creating "Sitenotice" with Hello and creating "Anonnotice" with blank (nothing, not even a dash).. Then it correctly shows "Hello" to logged-in users and nothing to logged-out users.

@Ciell Can you try it again on nl.wikipedia.org? Ping me on IRC before you start, so that I can investigate it while it is enabled if it doesn't work.
