Have you considered the SiteNoticeAfter hook?

ok. thanks. I was thinking there might be a hook that
executes just before the skin and content is rendered and I wouldn't have to worry
about using css to position a <div> that gets placed behind existing top left
content (namely the icon and sidebar). If there isn't, then i'll just have to get
more clever with the css gymnastics to get the <div> as clickable entity above) the
logo <Div> (which is the real problem i'm fighting). Here is the hook extension
I am currently using:
$wgHooks['BeforePageDisplay'][] = 'lfMyTopLeftDiv';
function lfMyTopLeftDiv( OutputPage &$out, Skin &$skin ) {
$out->addHTML( "<span style='position:fixed;top:0px;left:0px;
z-index:100;'><a href='https://mydomain.org'
style='z-index:100;'>X</a></span>" );
return $out;
}
Again, I wouldn't even be posting about this if the added <span> code were
clickable above the logo and sidebar. It's not. It's underneath and superseded by
the logo link .. and large positive values of z-index don't seem to be doing what I
was hoping it would do.
I'll consider my questions answered as, "While there are lots of ways of getting
html added to each page, there is not a hook that executes just after the <body>
html is issued."
I am grateful for the responses I have received and I'll tinker with the various
options and see what works best for me in the end.

regardless of skin
Rich,
If your needs are fairly basic, you could easily do something with
MediaWiki:Common.js
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Adding_HTML_to_wiki_pages> (Interface/JS
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/JavaScript>) to inject a
new element wiki-wide. (Note that if you want the elements to appear
"natural" like the rest of your wiki User Interface, you should look at OOUI
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOUI> where you'd probably want to
implement a "panel". See
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOUI/Using_OOUI_in_MediaWiki)
There are a bunch of examples of directly injecting external JS and code
via the built-in ResourceLoader and in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ResourceLoader/Core_modules
And, although Page Indicators are the right way to add certain elements to
the top of the page, you can also use Snippets like
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Snippets/Top_icons
If you need a solution that on-wiki admins would be able to manage, you
could use Extension:AdManager
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AdManager> (written by Ike Hecht)
and just put your HTML into $wgAdManagerCode plus style it (using
MediaWiki:Common.css) to place the block where you need it. The extension
is used on EyeWiki <http://eyewiki.org/Special:Version> but I didn't find
an example page. Another wiki where it's used is CondoPedia
<http://www.condopedia.com/wiki/Special:Version>; and an example I
found is this
page <http://www.condopedia.com/wiki/15_West_81st_Street>. The top box
with a photo of Michael Grabelsky is the Ad Code.
If you prefer to roll your own solution, the AdManager extension is one
that uses the prependHTML() method
<https://codesearch.wmflabs.org/search/?q=prependHTML&i=nope&files=&repos=>
of
the OutputPage.php <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:OutputPage.php>
class.

Yes, but it's just html code:
<div class="mw-indicators mw-body-content">
<div id="some-id" class="mw-indicator">

I admit I haven't used them before, but
aren't Page Indicators added
manually per-page?
