A lot of these are probably due to the transluding bug, when a link gets added to a page, it also gets added to all the transluding pages. A fix has been applied and being reviewed, this will reduce the number of unnecessary notification

we have come up with some very good ideas to tackle this potentially spammy notification. Hopefully we will make it a much better notification in the coming development cycles, :)
