Usage

{{Edit Notice|Please do good stuff and not bad stuff.}}

This template is used as a notice that goes above the edit box when an editor is modifying a particular page.

You can set up an edit notice on a particular page through MediaWiki's Edit Notice interface. Every page can have a specific notice via "MediaWiki:Editnotice-N-Title", where "N" is again the namespace number (see table below). Note that slashes (/) are replaced by hyphens (-). For example, "MediaWiki:Editnotice-2-Joe-Sandbox" corresponds to both "User:Joe-Sandbox" as well as "User:Joe/Sandbox".

The optional link parameter can be used to generate a default message, and link to the Edit Notice associated with the page, if any.
