I hope Notifications isn't considered a substitute for T68078 (indicating mentions when the page is saved).

Checking and clearing the Notification panel immediately after each and every message save would get extremely tedious very fast. The alternative is to check notifications occasionally, but there is no way to realistically recall off the top of your head every mention that should have existed over the last N message you sent. You would basically have to scour your own contribution history for any message that was intended to mention and which is missing from the Notification panel.

This information is most salient at the moment the message is saved. It should should be visible when the save is confirmed.

I'm sorry, but I think we discovered complications with that idea. @Catrope or @Lea_WMDE, are we still pursuing the idea of notifying on save, or did that hit a wall?

I'm sorry, but I think we discovered complications with that idea.

When we started working on the wish, we initially planned to implement a way to indicate mentions when the page is saved. However, at the point of saving the page, no processing for mentions has been done yet. Therefore, when the message "The page has been saved" appears, the system does not know yet whether any mentions will be sent. The reason for this is to be able to quickly save pages - hence all mention processing is delayed to a later step in the process. Changing this has been discussed in T136928, but since such a change would influence the performance of all saves of all pages, the decision was taken against it. Therefore, unfortunately, from our side, this is the best we could do.

@Lea_WMDE moved this task from Feature Development to Done on the German-Community-Wishlist-Main-Wishes board.

@Lea_WMDE: Does that mean the status of this task should be resolved? Or what is left to do here?
