Change Details

To aid seamless transition for merging DismissableSiteNotice to core this variable should be deprecated. Ideally it should be even left in the transition, but that's another overhead. It's hard to see the point of making banner **undismissable** in the present age and web standards. That notwithstadning, this flag exists for whatever reasons, since we are merging this button to core, it's time to rethink it. If a MediaWiki site admin intentionally needs to make the notice undismissable, they are free to use the [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:SiteNoticeBeforeHook.php|SiteNoticeBefore]] hook to modify the notice and make it so. I am sure Wikimedia won't want do that for the foreseeable future.
