Notifications were designed to replace and/or augment existing notification systems on these sites and to provide significantly more control to users. begin localize this information To learn more about Notifications, visit this portal on the English Wikipedia, as well as the project hub on MediaWiki.org. end localize this information

How do notifications work?
When someone takes an action that affects you on a Wikipedia or MediaWiki site, a red badge will appear next to your user name, in the top right corner of any page (see screenshot). This badge will show the number of new notifications you've received. Clicking on the badge will display a flyout listing the most recent notifications. You can then click on the notification of your choice to find out more about it. To see more, click on 'All notifications' to go to the localize link!!! notifications archive.
