Thread:Talk:Echo (Notifications)/Is it possible to use Echo to be personally notified about.../reply (3)

Ack, sorry Elitre, I thought I'd replied to this thread ages ago.


 * Re: special community initiatives - It's not currently possible to send Notifications to thousands of users at once. (there's a hard limit of 100.)
 * It's not currently possible to use Echo for that second idea, but it's an interesting one. That's the kind of thing that Flow might eventually solve (because it's more of a workflow&collaboration idea, rather than a "messaging" idea)
 * However, there's Svick's system of "CleanupListingByCat", eg Jainism which might be adaptable by Italian code gurus?


 * Template to ping multiple users:
 * Enwiki has a few. Basically anything that strings together userpage links will work. See en:Template:Reply to, and also the "Related templates" section at the bottom there.
 * Newsletters delivered to a central page -
 * Current best method is to use Extension:MassMessage to send a short talkpage message, pointing to the central location. That way readers can archive or read at leisure, and it advertises the info-source to other talkpage-followers.
 * See also Extension:Newsletter for some closely-related ideas about exactly this.


 * Choosing which pages users get notifications for -
 * There's a request for 44787 ("Allow excluding pages from the link notifications").
 * There's also a User blacklist currently implemented (for bots etc) to prevent Mention notifications.
 * I don't think there are requests for excluding other notification types, if you were thinking of something else?
