So, I feel strongly that Huggle and ClueBot integration is frankly all the positive notification we need for edits alone. I can gather some data on it, but I'm pretty sure they cover the vast majority of incoming edits. I'm also wary of sticking another interface element in page histories or diffs (already crammed), since it increases the footprint of Echo and the chances people might grumble about it.

Hi guys,

We would be grateful for your advice on how to give more positive notifications to new users after their first edits.

We're looking for notification ideas that could lead new editors towards a "happy path" to encourage further contributions. 

What about "20 people have visited your user page at User:Yourname this week" or similar? I think it points up the interconnectedness of wiki users. 

In general, I think notifications about people and what people do will be more welcome than notifications about pages and what is done to them.  This is true of the suggestions I've read, but I think it is worth noting specifically.
