Remove the current CSD notice. The current proposal is a mess, and doesn't have localization either of the content or of the notice (which, as Tony Wills notes above, is usually elsewhere). Removal of the notice will permit a closure of the vote, and a reorganisation of the proposal, and perhaps some translation (once the proposal is nailed down). It can then be re-advertised later.

 | Commons has 3 kinds of top of page messages that can be used to convey information or announcements to readers and editors:
|
 | New messages must increment the cookie-ID, or the message will not always appear for users who hid the previous message. |
Fundraising note
{{Editprotected}}
Would people have a problem if we posted a short notice on watchlists looking for help with the fundraising campaign this year? Most specifically a comment directing them to the Messages page for comments and new proposals.
Help shape the 2010 Wikimedia Fundraiser! Propose new messages and comment on existing options on Meta.

- If you are looking for feedback, try VP instead. Docu at 03:57, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- What exactly are you asking for? Do you want preliminary feedback? Or do you want an admin to place the text to the message right now? FYI: I am not sure how much useful it is, Commons is largely multilingual project, many users here use different interface language and would not be able to see a message placed here. --Mormegil (talk) 09:06, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- Well, so is Meta. They got translations (and having a notice here would help bring more translators to them). I don't have a problem with adding a little watchlist message. Rocket000 (talk) 10:29, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Not done It seems obsolete right now, if you want an edit to be done, no problem, but be specific, please. --Mormegil (talk) 19:41, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
Localisation
There isn't any attempt to localise these messages, is there? Rd232 (talk) 12:25, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Well if there were, it would be done by copying the watchlist message to MediaWiki:Watchlist-details/de, MediaWiki:Watchlist-details/en-gb etc. Alternatively, a more efficient way to do it would be to create {{Watchlist-details}}, add that into every language version, and then localise the template in the usual way. I think. Rd232 (talk) 22:09, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
