Messages

To perform maintenance tasks on your wiki, server administrators on occasion display a message on the wiki that informs administrators or users that wiki maintenance is scheduled for a certain time. This message is sometimes shown only to administrators and other times to all users.

Messages to administrators (secret)

If a server administrator has sent a message only to wiki administrators, all wiki pages display a confirmation box that only disappears after the admin user has checked the confirmation checkbox and submits it by clicking Acknowledge. The message disappears from all pages.

Messages to all users (general)

If a message is sent to all users instead, wiki users (including admin users) see the message, but do not have to acknowledge reading the message. They can close the message window at any time. The message then disappears from all pages.
