I was going to try to add to the table in the task description, but I thought it would be more clear to add a better description here:
Unless there is a specific reason to exclude the sticky header from a page or class of pages, it should appear on every page where the fixed top-of-page header appears. Editors expect the top-of-page header to persist upon scrolling on all pages, including Special pages, the Watchlist, search results, and elsewhere. In other words, the sticky header's presence should be treated as "opt-out" rather than its current "opt-in" behavior.
