'''Editnotices''' are large message boxes that are shown above the edit window when a user edits a page. This is often used to convey important notices and messages, such as warnings and reminders. The Sims Wiki has adopted a sophisticated editnotice system, modelled after the one used on Wikipedia, that allows for more flexibility with editnotices.

'''Editnotices''' are messages displayed at the top of a page when you're editing it. Editnotices can only be set by [[The Sims Wiki:Administrators|Administrators]]. They are located in the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]] and can be set for either all pages in a namespace or for individual articles.
To set an editnotice create a new article at <code>MediaWiki:Editnotice-x</code> where <code>x</code> is the [[Help:Namespace|namespace number]].
For editnotices to individual pages, create a new article at <code>MediaWiki:Editnotice-x-pagename</code> with <code>x</code> as the namespace number like above and <code>pagename</code> is the name of the article, eg. <code>The_Sims_Wiki</code> or <code>Barnacle Bay</code>
When creating a new editnotice, please use the div's below. When making an editnotice it is best to be brief, but if your message is long, consider left-aligning the image by adding <code>|left</code> and then clear to the left (<code><nowiki>{{clrl}}</nowiki></code>) or the image will clip outside the div on widescreen resolutions.
;Information editnotice
Add the full page name after the <code>|</code> pipe in the [[Template:Edit|edit template]] eg. <code>MediaWiki-6</code>. Replace <code>message</code> with your message. Example: [[MediaWiki:Editnotice-6]]
<pre>
<div style="border:1px solid black; background:#EEEEEE; padding:5px;">
<div style="float:right; margin-right:4px;">{{Edit|}}</div>
[[File:Info_information_icon.png|50px]] message
</div>
</pre>
;Warning editnotice
Add the full page name after the <code>|</code> pipe in the [[Template:Edit|edit template]] eg. <code>MediaWiki-6</code>. Replace <code>message</code> with your message. Example: [[MediaWiki:Editnotice-0-The Sims Wiki]]
