This page is quite hard to find
[edit]This page is quite hard to find for a newcomer. It would be useful if 'Wiki Notifications' or 'Wikipedia Notifications' redirected either to here (or to 'Wikipedia:Notifications'), but I don't know how to do this. (Peter Ells (talk) 01:22, 27 February 2014 (UTC))
'Multi ping' not mentioned in documentation
[edit]It is possible to ping more than one user. for example { { ping|user1|user2 } } rather than { { ping user1 } } { { ping user2 } } . This doesn't appear to be in the documentation. Jonpatterns (talk) 13:35, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
A frequently asked question: Can someone else see my notifications?
[edit]Even if the answer is a strict "no, not in any way - only by logging in to your account can your notifications be viewed" adding the Q and the A (Can someone else see my notifications?) would be helpful. Thx CapnZapp (talk) 12:13, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
Searching old notifications?
[edit]Greetings and felicitations. I'm looking for an (very) old notification, one for which I know the a couple of details. Is there a way to search all of my notifications at once? —DocWatson42 (talk) 10:40, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- @DocWatson42: Hi. No, it is not possible to search through our old notifications online. The only possibility would be if you'd had them all sent to you via email. Sorry about that. If it's something you need to do regularly, we could file a feature-request? Best wishes, Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 15:21, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Quiddity (WMF): Thank you for your response. :-) It's not something I do regularly, so a feature request is, if it's non-trivial, not warranted. Also, I checked my E-mail archive, and the sort of notification I am looking for is not included (an alert). However, if it wouldn't be too much trouble to file a feature-request for it, it would be nice if the number of notifications on a user's Notifications page was adjustable in the same was as on Revision history pages. Searching 500 notifications at a time would be (in some ways) easier than 50. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DocWatson42 (talk • contribs) 23:07, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
