Notifications/de

Notifications (früher bekannt als Echo) ist ein Engagement-Tool für Wikimedia- und MediaWiki-Seiten, um Benutzer auf einheitliche Weise über neue Aktivitäten zu informieren. Es benachrichtigt die Benutzer über verschiedene Ereignisse, die mit ihrem Konto zusammenhängen, z. B. neue Nachrichten auf der Diskussionsseite, Änderungen, Erwähnungen oder Links. Es wurde entwickelt, um bestehende Benachrichtigungssysteme auf MediaWiki-Seiten zu ersetzen und/oder zu ergänzen und den Benutzern deutlich mehr Kontrolle darüber zu geben, wie ihre Benachrichtigungen behandelt, gelesen und gelöscht werden. Die Funktion wurde ursprünglich vom Editor Engagement Team der Wikimedia Foundation als Teil von "MediaWiki braucht ein vernünftiges Benachrichtigungssystem" (T34281) entwickelt, und ihre Pflege liegt derzeit in der Verantwortung des Growth-Teams. Es wurde im Laufe des Jahres 2013 auf allen Wikimedia-Wikis bereitgestellt.

Future plans and requests for feedback
There are no future plans concerning these features.


 * Also see Collaboration team weekly deployment planning


 * Resorting of all notifications between "Alerts" and "Notices"


 * Special:Notifications have a new design


 * Cross-wiki notifications will become a default feature on May 12 (T130655)
 * Work on evolution of Special:Notifications has started

Cross-wiki notifications are alive as a Beta on all wikis (T123570)

The difference between "alerts" and "messages" notifications (the two panels or flyouts) is unclear to some. The developers want feedback on 2 possible sorting schemes so they can make this better (T123018). You can give feedback in any language.

The ongoing user-experience changes (the wording and design of each notification type) are most easily seen in this spreadsheet (or less detailed version at Notifications/Messages). More details at T114357.

Cross-wiki notifications are alive on Beta wikis (T123570)

The Collaboration team is concentrating on cross-wiki notifications and related improvements to the extension. A Beta Feature for cross-wiki notifications is planned.

A more detailed overview is available on the talkpage; here are the main tasks:
 * Technical details: Requests for comment/Cross-wiki notifications and back-end improvements: T107823 (Rewrite EchoNotificationFormatter)
 * T117670 (Define Cross-wiki Notifications settings)
 * T114356 (Bundled notifications)
 * T114237 (Present cross-wiki notifications as a beta feature to users)
 * T114357 (Clarifications to the currently confusing "primary/secondary" link, and proposed future enhancements)
 * T115264 (Controlling notification 'volume' based on the type or location)
 * T115845 (Clearer use of the notification badges (coloured number in personal toolbar))
 * T115316 (Better organization of the Special:Notifications page)
 * T114350 (Cross-wiki notifications tracking task)
 * Note: Most of these are not directly part of the cross-wiki notifications feature. We won't for sure roll all these out together with the main change.

What comments, what design ideas, and what technical concerns do you have? Please tell us on the linked tasks if you can.

The notifications badge has been split in two. As a first step, notifications about messages on your user talk page will be placed in the second badge/list (and messages on the wikis using it). Please give us feedback on which of the other existing notifications, should be moved into the second badge/list.

Goals




This new notifications system seeks to unify the delivery of interaction messages in MediaWiki core, through a common API that can provide a uniform interface for users. For a quick visual overview of this project, check the Notifications slides.

Problems and Solutions
We aimed to solve these core problems:
 * There is no central notification system on MediaWiki sites
 * The current ad-hoc approach is inefficient
 * Users are not notified of key events
 * Users are confused by current notices

Notifications was developed to provide these solutions:
 * Provide a unified user experience
 * Inform users of important activity
 * Promote editor engagement

User groups
Notifications will support several different user groups:
 * new users (after registration)
 * current users

The first release focused on new users, who need notifications more than power users. Specifically, we concentrated on some of the first notifications which a new user can receive after creating an account on Wikipedia. We also developed some features to support power users, but we initially emphasize notifications that can engage new users, who need this service most urgently. Anonymous, unregistered users will not receive notifications at this time.
