Help:Notifications/Cross-wiki

Cross-wiki notification is an enhancement to the notificationshelp>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Notifications|notifications tool that lets you see messages from all Wikimedia wikis on the wiki in which you are currently working.

== Information displayed == Cross-wiki notifications are displayed as items in the notifications panels. (The sorting of items is still being decided at sorting>phab:T123018.)

These cross-wiki notifications are bundled into a single notification. This bundle is expandable by clicking on it. Cross-wiki notifications from an individual wiki are grouped together.

Please notificationsfeedback>Help talk:Notifications|give us feedback if you have any problems with it, and tell us what you like about it!

== Beta Feature == === Release timeline === Cross-wiki notifications are currently available as a Beta Feature on testwiki>testwiki: and test2wiki>test2wiki:.

On 19 February, the feature will be available at Wikidata, Mediawikiwiki, Commons, all Hebrew wikis, and all French wikis. After tests and fixes, it will be available as a Beta feature on all wikis for all logged-in users.

We have tested many possible cases, but you may experience some problems. If so (and we are sorry about that), please notificationsfeedback>Help talk:Notifications|give us feedback.

Once this feature has been user-tested, and further refined based on data and feedback, it is planned to be deployed as a default for all Wikimedia wikis.

=== Activate the feature === You will be able to activate the Beta Feature ("") via the  link on your personal bar (or the  section of your preferences>Special:Preferences|Preferences).

You must activate the beta feature on a given wiki to receive notifications on that wiki, though no action is necessary to enable a wiki to send notifications to other wikis. Further settings are being considered at T117670.
