Help:Notifications/Cross-wiki

Cross-wiki notification is an enhancement to the notifications tool that lets you see messages from all Wikimedia Foundation-hosted wikis on the wiki in which you are currently working.

Information displayed
Cross-wiki notifications are displayed as items in the notifications panels. (The exact sorting is still being decided at 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 give us feedback if you have any problems with it, and tell us what you like about it!

Release timeline
Cross-wiki notifications are currently available as a Beta Feature on and  wikis.

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 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 Special: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.
