Usage
editThis template is used by MediaWiki:Watchlist-messages, the watchlist notice message. It takes the following parameters:
- until - A date until which to display the notice, e.g.
|until=29 November. This will assume 29 November 00:00, not 29 November 23:59. This time will be in UTC. - cookie - A unique number assigned to each message to allow users to dismiss the message. Please advance this number for each new message, e.g.
|cookie=143. If you forget to increment this number, then anybody that clicked "Dismiss" on the old message will not be able to see your new message. - text - The text of the message
