I added a generic message called 'sitenotice'

replaces fundraising_notice and shows up in Special:Allmessages. It's
parsed as normal wiki syntax now. The code that does this is a live
tweak in Setup.php on Zwinger currently, imo it would make sense to
replace $wgSiteNotice with it, with a default of '-' = switched off.
Opinions?
You're a bit unclear -- I'm not sure if you're saying you're replacing
one "live tweak" with another, or a live tweak with a "proper" UI. My
opinion is obvious: Make a proper UI. ;-) If you're saying that you're
planning to make it so that any sysop can activate the site notice by
setting [[MediaWiki:Sidenotice]] to some text other than '-', then yes,
please go for it.
