Fabrice Florin <fflo...@wikimedia.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |bhar...@wikimedia.org, | |fflo...@wikimedia.org --- Comment #6 from Fabrice Florin <fflo...@wikimedia.org> --- Thanks, Krinkle! You make some good points, and we have just reached out to community members on our editor engagement list, to get this perspective on the current version of the Dismiss feature, as described here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo_(Notifications)/Feature_requirements#Dismiss Based on these discussions, we will determine whether to change the current version of Dismiss before we deploy to en-wiki, or remove it entirely, or try it out in its current form to get more community feedback. The choices we're considering for changing this feature include: 1. have the 'X' button simply close that individual notification (without the option to turn off all notifications from that category?) 2. look for a compromise solution which lets you do both, as proposed earlier by Brandon: Hover over the notification and there's an "(x)" that appears on the right side. Click that and it dismisses the notification but also asks "Do you want to hide all notifications of this kind?" [y/n control] - if "n/cancel", dismiss/hide current element, do nothing else. - if "y" set "hide this type" preference for the user. show message about "you can set your preferences [[here]]" Note that in its current form, the feature is similar to Facebook's 'User Opt-Out' feature, which lets you turn off notifications from an application or group, as described here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/concepts/notifications/ But your concerns are well taken. With that in mind, Brandon's proposal may be an effective way to address both requirements with a single feature. What do you think? We'll keep you posted on what we find out from our other discussions. Cheers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
