Help:Notifications/Cross-wiki/yi

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

אינפארמאציע געוויזן
Cross-wiki notifications are displayed as items in the notifications panels. (The sorting of items 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!

What information, and where
If you activate the Beta feature on one specific wiki, you will receive notifications from other wikis only on that wiki. These notifications will come from all wikis, including wikis not on the test.

For example, if you activate Cross-wiki Notifications on Commons, you will receive a notification if someone thanks you on Vietnamese Wiktionary. But you will not receive that thank on French Wikivoyage if you do not activate it on that wiki.

If you don't activate that feature, nothing will change on your Notifications panel.

When you activate Cross-wiki Notifications the first time, you may receive unread notifications from other wikis, sometimes pending since a long time.

Release timeline
Cross-wiki notifications are currently available as a Beta Feature on, , Wikidata, Mediawiki.org, 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 on March 10, 2016.

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. A way to filter theses notifications in user preferences is under discussion.

Activate the feature
You can activate the Beta Feature on the concerned wikis via the  link on your personal bar (or the section of your Preferences). There, enable "".

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.
