If I thought it was a good idea to replace $wgSiteNotice with
wfMsg('sitenotice'), I would have done so, instead of writing something
more complicated and more flexible.
Wouldn't replacing $wgSiteNotice with wfMsg('sitenotice') still allow
for this flexibility since, now that it is wiki-parsed, it can contain
something like "{{fundraising_notice}}"?
