I don't want to say this is "global flags" like user's have flags but it's a similar concept. The problem I face, as an admin of a small deployment, is that I need to be able to alert the user base to a variety of things (various object types in phabricator) within our deployment (out-of-date content like wiki pages, tasks that will impact uptime of the deployment, configuration changes like SSH port configuration). Currently we are using conpherence chats + a query on the home page with a custom date field but both of those are sort of clunky in their own ways and hard to manage because that is not what they are for... A way to toggle something on/off as "highlighted" for our community for some period of time (manually by me/an admin) would be ideal - hence saying "global flags".

If anyone who sees this has any "workarounds" or alternative solutions that would also work, I'm game to try things
