Does anyone have a screenshot, or better yet a page I suppose, with the "this page contains an excessive amount of detail that may only interest a niche audience tag?

There is the overly detailed template:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Overly_detailed
Here's a list of articles with that template attached:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:All_articles_that_are_excessively_detailed

There are essays on fancruft and excessive trivia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fancruft
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Handling_trivia

However the template does not specifically mention: 'may only interest a niche audience'. The page about the template does talk about articles not being suitable for general audiences though.
There's also WP:DETAIL.

Thank you, did I imagine that part of it then, was it an edit, or an older version of the notice I wonder.

The box indeed used to say
>This article may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may interest only a particular audience.
back in 2023 and prior to 2018 (use the edit history)

It seems some people changed the wording to bring it inline with similar boxes.

neat

i'm not funny enough to come up with something to replace the rest of the text to make it an effective imageboard macro...
op, did you ask for this because you had an idea in mind to do just that?
