Thanks, Matthew, your good insights are much appreciated!

Let us know how that user mention notification works for you in practice.

Anyone else have suggestions about missing use cases for that feature?

Hey folks,

We just released a new version of Echo on MediaWiki.org, for your
interactive pleasure.

Sounds great.

Can you help us take it for a spin?

Will do.


• support links with single brackets

I think that's extremely rare and discouraged (it would be a same-wiki
or interwiki external link), so it's probably not
worth the effort.

• support user links on 'Wikipedia:' pages

Probably useful (e.g. Village pump)

• support user links on article pages

Definitely not namespace 0, if that's what you mean by article.  That's
an anti-pattern.

• support user links without requiring a signature

Probably not necessary, but avoids the need for signature detection code
(do you support custom signatures like mine?) and could be useful in
some edge
cases.
