Geolocation or not, the extension's sole function, as I understand it, is
adding a specific MediaWiki message to another specific MediaWiki message (the
sidebar) on Wikimedia wikis. This is basically what WikimediaMessages was
designed for: small customizations to the user interface specific to Wikimedia
wikis.

Hmmm, indeed. Though this is basically what the CentralNotice extension does
(including geolocation). Perhaps the CentralNotice extension should simply have
an "above the watchlist" option. Probably worth filing a bug, if you're
interested.
