Is this a better URL: http://yi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?banner=2009_Notice22

Perhaps a screenshot would be most useful. Since I'm not incredibly familiar with RTL display, can you describe exactly what is incorrect in the banner? Thanks!

Amir, can you assess if this is fixed after 1.18 has been deployed on Wikimedia?

Qgil subscribed.Feb 14 2015, 3:50 PM

@Amire80, this is one of the oldest tasks assigned to someone. Are you planning to work on it, and is its current priority correct?

• Tbayer subscribed.Feb 18 2015, 4:52 AM

T47941 might be related (or might have been - not sure if either bug still occurs).

Amire80 closed this task as Resolved.Aug 30 2015, 7:26 AM

Closing as resolved. It may have been a problem long ago, but currently the sitenotice has the lang and dir attributes of the wiki's content language, and that's how it should be. If the message itself is not appropriately translated, then it should be translated, and if for some reason it has to be in a different language, then it should use appropriate HTML.

There's a somewhat similar, but separate issue in MediaWiki-extensions-CentralNotice, and it is not resolved yet - T47941.
