Cross-wiki talk page notification would be a very useful feature so that users could be notified of messages left on one Wikipedia even if they never visit that language.

Angela,

I have nothing against this feature, but current collaboration is a m*ss, when I
have to ask and ask and ask again and again for CVS/Developer access rights.
This needs to said once. How did the other developers get their "rights"?

I'll take over to implement this (together with E mail notification
http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454 , which is already in CVS 1.5

  • everyone can check this out and test.)

As soon, as we have 1.5 running, changes of user_talk pages of every wiki will
trigger an email notification (if this is enabled by the sysop). This has
nothing directly to do with single user-login see also
http://meta.wikipedia.org/SUL again.

Brion and JelUF:
Can you add for me a permanent(!) statistik of foreign (i.e. not own) changes on
user_talk pages for _all_ wikis (as you did in August 2004: 1000 changes on
enwiki - 200 own changes = 800 "foreign" changes. this will be the maximum
number of e-mail notifications per day)

I forget to say, that the http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454 uses
table watchlist not only for sending the e-mail notification for user_talk pages
(if this is enabled), but also manages now the "You have new message" talk page
notification.

This is, why I offer to take over treating this bugzilla.

Does this have any hope of implementation? It looks like it had been forgotten for good.

Not for good. Someone just has to code it.

This can simulated using javascript and the API (format=json) except it requires using the watchlist token and might not be terribly efficient.

Looking at that screenshot it seems to already have been solved, but not deployed to WMF sites yet.

As far as I'm aware, Echo doesn't provide cross-wiki notifications. I don't know whether Flow has this feature in their roadmap.

This is the subject of an RfC: [[mw:Requests for comment/Global notifications]]. It's in the long-term roadmap of "Flow", but for Flow to have it, Echo also needs to support it.

I don't think it's reasonable to list this against MW 1.24; removing milestone.

Sorry, I just wanted to define the version.

Re-opening as the overall delivery of Global notifications, instead of the technology side.

Catrope claimed this task.
Catrope subscribed.

With today's deployment of cross-wiki notifications (now enabled by default on all wikis), I'm closing this as resolved.
