Hello everyone,
I am happy to announce that we just deployed the first release of Notifications today on
the English Wikipedia!
Please try it out and let us know right away if you see any bugs or issues -- or have
comments or suggestions.
Notifications should start appearing in a red badge next to your name on
en.wikipedia.org
very soon -- as well as on your archive page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Notifications
Before you test Notifications, we recommend that you go to your preferences page, and
enable all the notifications you want (be sure to check email notifications, which are
mostly 'opt-in' for current users):
