Notifications/Sorting schemes/es-419

The overall task is: Deciding how to sort the notification types (e.g. "new usertalkpage message", "your edit was reverted", "a page you created has been linked to", "thanks", etc) into two groups. La clasificación actual tiene algunos problemas.

Fueron anteriormente dos propuestas. Después de comentarios, hemos decidido guardar solo una alternativa al esquema actual (Abril 2016). El equipo quiere tus comentarios sobre él (tus preferencias, o preocupaciones). La recomendación es que empezamos con la clasificación "Por urgencia" (prototipo).

Please share your feedback at or here on MediaWiki.org.

El problema para solucionar
There are currently two Notification flyout menus, one for Alerts and one for Messages. Different notification types show up on different menus. There have been criticism over time that the scheme for dividing up the messages is unclear and/or inconsistent. These criticisms include the following:


 * Ideas of "urgency" and "requiring follow up" are mixed together, making it difficult to explain or predict why different items are in each flyout.
 * Currently, "Alert" items are automatically "marked as read" on opening the flyout. Yet some of these require follow-up or other action to be fully understood (e.g., Mention), so this feature's value is not always clear.
 * Because "Alerts" are perceived as "Urgent", the "Thanks" and other items seem out of place in that flyout.

Goals

 * To create a scheme that is easy to understand, learn, and predict.
 * To give editors clearer information about their new notifications.
 * To reduce unnecessary distraction from non-urgent notifications.
 * Something that works well for editors who get large (and small) quantities of notifications.
 * Something that scales well, as new (requested) notification types are created.
 * Something that scales well, once cross-wiki notifications are available.

Types
See examples of the most common notification types at: File:Notifications Catalog.png

Options

 * 1) Current
 * 2) Urgent versus Non-Urgent
 * 3) (formerly and now abandoned) Follow-up versus No follow-up (is a reply needed/likely)
