On our wiki, different "projects" have different “page banners”, i.e. a section at the top of the page that identifies the project. Compare e.g. [[ORBIT]], and [[OER4Schools]]. In order for projects to choose to place their outputs on a departmental site (let along a University wide, or wikibooks), they need to have their own identity within that site. Otherwise it is simply not acceptable to project stake holders. For the [[ORBIT]] project, a mechanism was developed to achieve this, but it used the 'site notice’, so it was not possible to have site notices. Moreover, the implementation require modification of the actual source code modification, which made it difficult for us to upgrade our wiki installation. Part of [[EWTE]], the implementation was adapted, to no longer affect the site notice, and to work as an extension, with out the need to modify the source code. | On our wiki, different "projects" have different “page banners”, i.e. a section at the top of the page that identifies the project.
