quickie on "announce" box

On Wikipedia sometimes there is an announce box asking for donations or
telling users about anticipated downtime or whatever. I'm sure it's in the
docs, if I look, but how do I do that? Is it a case of playing with the
templates, or is it a setting in LocalSettings.php or what?

Thanks in advance,

You set the message in LocalSettings.php, like this:

$wgSiteNotice = "Your message here";
