@Frostly , this is not a administrative request, so i am setting it back as task

In the future, please always follow https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes when requesting such site configuration changes. Please provide link to community discussion. Thanks!

I actually don't think this requires any community consensus. Why are notices selectively hidden? I believe wgMinervaEnableSiteNotice was supposed to be temporary flag. If a community doesn not want to (for whatever reason) show notices on mobile there's already nomobile class which I believe works.

@Jdlrobson. I think the logic of $wgMinervaEnableSiteNotice (on wikimedia) should have been in the reverse. That's default true, and any community who wants opt out should request so.

Imo as a norm site configuration changes should have community consensus.

it seems T269173: Migrate default of $wgMinervaEnableSiteNotice to true per minervasitenotice supposed to be disabled until the banners are mobile friendly

@Anoop @Ammarpad We already discussed this as part of the edit-a-thon. So this should be ready to go. Thanks

Please add discussion explaining enabling site notice on mobile devices, as I can see there no mention of enabling minervasitenotice

@Ammarpad, historically site notices have only run on desktop. Many of them were not tested on mobile and break display there, so one of the requirements was that it was intentional that communities discuss this before switching over.

It was meant to be temporary to make Minerva consistent with other skins. I think ideally site notices should be configurable on a per skin basis, inside MediaWIki core if we want to continue to support this behaviour.

If I recall I worked on this with @Tgr who is now in the MediaWiki Platform Team who would probably be in a better position to determine how site notices should be more configurable per skin and whether the Minerva default should be reconsidered at this point in time, particularly now many communities need this functionality (e.g. those using WikidataPageBanner, Wikifunctions) and now that the switchover to IP masking will add more noise to this area on the page. I suggest making a ticket tagged MediaWiki-Platform-Team if that seems like a good idea.

@Anoop @Ammarpad @Jdlrobson There is now community consensus. So this should be ready to go. Thanks
