In T94772, I'm rendering a static banner, using 'viewBanner' hooked to 'ArticleViewHeader' which ideally should insert a banner only when no {{PAGEBANNER...}} is found. To achieve that, I can use a control variable to suppress the functionality of 'viewBanner' whenever the parser detects the {{PAGEBANNER..}} magic word. However this introduces coupling between these two functions, with a variable. Is this approach fine, or can there be a better solution?

I'd rather use {{PAGEBANNER:File:Foo.jpg}} (: instead of |) as it is done for {{DISPLAYTITLE}} and other configurations as well.
This makes clear that it is a magic word and not a template.
