Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Interactive Prototype/To/From/reply

Have you encountered the new en:WP:Notifications features? One of those, is the new "Mentions" feature, whereby if you link to a username, and sign the post with 4-tildes in the same save, it will send a Notification to the user saying "You have been mentioned by x at y."

You do have to be logged in to receive Notifications though.

AFAIK, Notifications is only in a few wikis at the moment (such as here and en.wiki), but will be rolled out to meta in the next few months, and other languages in the latter half of the year.

Cross-wiki Notifications, are also on the roadmap.

This, and other "To:" type functionality, is already being strongly thought about for Flow and Notifications. Good times are ahead!
