Include feature switch to new mention notifications for beta & test wiki deployment
Closed, ResolvedPublic3 Estimated Story Points

Description

To have it activated on beta & test wikipedia first before releasing it to the wiki world!

Background:
This task is based on a wish that received 21 points (#9) in the German Community Wishlist[1]. Originally, the wish was to receive an information about the sent messages. To help people use mentions in a way that they are sent, we have also included notifications about mention failures, which add the reasons for the failure as well.
