Hi guys,

We just released another update of the Notifications tool on the English Wikipedia today.

Here are some of the key revisions we deployed:

* Talk page notifications now link directly to sections (when available)

* Page link notifications now go to the article that linked to your page (unless page links are bundled)

* Users can now be blacklisted by the community if their notifications are deemed inappropriate (1)

* You can create a personal whitelist if you wish to get notifications from a blacklisted user (1)

* Notification preferences now show disabled checkbox for talkpage messages on the web (instead of hiding it)

* Fixed odd link breakage in plain text email notifications


Try these out for yourself, and let us know if you have any comments or questions. 

If you come across any bugs, please post them on Bugzilla (2).

Enjoy!


Fabrice and the E2 Team
