Quarterly
That's new. Have RW's funding needs increased? 21:17, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Getting rid of "Free speech isn't free."
It sounds like a cliche, even though it seems like we're making a play on the cliche. 12:37, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Could we use any selection of colors other than dark green on dark grey
even this would be better: 15:49, 3 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Sure. tmtoulouse 22:50, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Drop the template somewhere we can protect and we can use it. tmtoulouse 22:51, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure, it's at fundraiser. (Inventive, I know.) 23:02, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Current version would be: 23:05, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Lets go back to the old days
When the main page and shit like this was unprotected. Porn would look cool in the site notice.
 * Do you have anything better to be doing? RoninMacbeth (talk) 18:03, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * It's not even possible to make this editable for all without access to the servers. Christopher (talk) 19:10, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

"alternatives" -> "alternates"
Please? The Moose (talk) 23:50, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Done. I hadn't actually noticed until I came here for a different reason. —Kazitor, pending 11:22, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

April Fool's
It got StormFront. 18:52, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

it only changes if someone clears their cache -- effectively viewers will only see one of the notices. just combine them! 16:03, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * It technically works, but sometimes people's browsers will refuse to change upon refreshing it. — Oxyaena Harass  17:38, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Uh... What? It only works except for literally every browser that implements caching behavior according to published standards?  ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 17:55, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'm thinking even that's wrong and html-version caching happens server-side on a per article basis, with templates transcluded, and only a change to a given article's or template's wikitext will cause the cache to invalidate and the message to change. Not great.  ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 17:57, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Well it would probably be best to simply stack two notices rather than having the randomizer. Because although it does work, it's not really ideal as you point out. 18:31, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

More color
This shit needs to pop--Hastur! (talk) 21:57, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
