Editnotice types

• Title: Editnotice bound to a specific title. This also works for pages that do not exist, but requires moving around if the page the notice is bound to is moved.
• Page: Editnotice bound to a specific page, regardless of page name. If the page is moved the editnotice remains, but if the page is later deleted the editnotice becomes invalid.
• Group: Editnotice bound to a group of subpages, regardless of page name. This also works for pages that do not exist.
• Protection: Editnotice for a protected title. This also works for pages that do not exist, but requires moving around if the page the notice is bound to is moved.
• ProtectionID: Same as "protection", but now bound to a specific page.
• Category: Editnotice for all pages in a category. Only works on MW 1.43 or later.
• Namespace: Editnotice for all pages in a specific namespace.

Restricting editnotice creation

To restrict the creation of editnotices to specific users, you can use the Abuse filter or the MediaWiki:Titleblacklist. You can define a custom message to show to users who attempt to edit editnotices. Note, by using the titleblacklist, only those with the (tb-override) (administrators) will be able to edit, unless if the "autoconfirmed" flag is set.

The following on the titleblacklist will restrict editnotices to just autoconfirmed users: Template:Editnotice load/.* <noedit|autoconfirmed|errmsg=custom-titleblacklist-editnotice>

If you then want to allow user notices for all user pages, you can then add the following to MediaWiki:Titlewhitelist: Template:Editnotice load/Page/User( talk):.* .
