from an email notification. This will now happen. [1]

*Changes this week*
- The list of other languages an article is available in will be shorter
on small Wikipedias and non-Wikipedia projects. This is to make it easier
to find the most relevant languages for each user. You will still be able
to see the other languages. [2]

you open the Notifications popup. [4]

is instead of one notification for each thanks. [5]
