Greetings!
We just deployed another release candidate for Notifications today on
MediaWiki.org.
Here are some of the new features and bug fixes in today's release:
* Remove 'Web display' preference
* New question mark icon on flyout
* Bold user and page names in flyout
* New pink heart icon for thanks notifications
* Set email defaults to false for thanks and page reviews
* New event logging schema for metrics
* New metrics dashboards [1]
Please let us know if you experience any issues for this final version. For tips on how to
test notifications on
MediaWiki.org, check our testing page [2]. You are also welcome to
post bugs directly on Bugzilla [3].
We plan to release this first 'minimum viable product' on the English Wikipedia
next Tuesday, April 30, as outlined in our release plan [4]. We had to postpone that
release by a few days to develop a better way to set user preferences on en-wiki, as well
as complete the metrics logging scripts for data collection. This also gave us a chance to
test all key features on
MediaWiki.org first, before deploying on the English Wikipedia.
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
Enjoy,
Fabrice and the E2 Team
