{{Global_notifications/var|en=52% English|de=25% German|else=100%}}text ... - magic words: ... you can use magic words like
{{SITENAME}},{{SERVERNAME}},{{SERVER}},{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}},{{#language:en}}...
Notes
- wiki link: an inner-wiki link has to have a leading colon:
[[:link]] - meta link: a meta link has to be a usual link:
[[link]](no leading "meta:") - clean meta link: to get a meta link without the
meta:prefix:[[link|link]] - ext. links: avoid external links (especially at the beginning, due to CAPTCHA ;-)
- When the message box works here, it actually should render well on all wikis!
- ...but:
- Images/files have to be transcluded from Wikimedia Commons ...
- templates/categories working/existing on Meta will not work on all other wikis ;-)

New project proposal: Soviet Repressions Memorial
A new proposal has been made for Victims of Soviet Repressions Memorial.
- Hmm, not sure whether this is worth for a notification. Yet, it is just a mere proposal (there would be many many others as well). I for myself do not have any problem to inform people of 'new project proposals', but the big problem is that, although many people are vitally discussing such proposals on Meta, nobody of the Wikimedia staff actually cares (no notification will change that, unfortunately). There are plenty of good and very good ideas, but no wiki (not even a test wiki) has been set up by Wikimedia for actually all of those proposals that are swirling around here. Improvements to Wikipedia&Co. to merge in those ideas aren't done (often a software issue, e.g. database-like stuff). People just should use Wikia instead for example (they are very innovative and are happy! to set up good idea wikis, to give them at least a chance; good ideas aren't ignored on other Wiki farms and they wouldn't end in talk). So, only auspicious and up-and-coming ideas should be posted to all our wikis, I think. --- Sorry for that, Melancholie 17:50, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
