automatically mark notifications as read anymore. You can go between read,
unread or all notifications on Special:Notifications
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Notifications>. Notifications
on Special:Notifications
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Notifications> are grouped by
day. You can mark every daily group as read individually. Notifications are
displayed by groups of 50 on Special:Notifications
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Notifications> and you can find
former notifications by using navigation arrows. [2]
