Greetings!
I'm excited to share the good news that we just released Notifications on
most wikis around the world today!
This major release includes about 752 sites, ranging from sister projects
like Commons and Wiktionary, to remaining Wikipedias in almost all
languages. These wikis now have both Echo and Thanks extensions enabled, as
listed here. (1)
If you are active in a community where we just released Echo, we would be
grateful if you could quickly test that Notifications work for you -- and
let us know if you encounter any issues on this discussion page. (2) We
invite you to enable all notifications in your preferences before you test,
and follow guidelines from this testing page (3).
We would like to thank all the community and team members who worked
together to create this useful tool -- and we are really glad to be
bringing it to millions more people around the world. (4)
We hope that many productive collaborations will be enabled by this tool,
and make our movement grow further as a result. :)
Enjoy,
Fabrice
P.S.: We have not yet enabled Notifications on the German and Italian
Wikipedias, because some of their community members thought that more
discussions are needed about this feature. To support this request for more
time, we are now targeting the week of November 18 for an Echo deployment
on both sites.
