Add a primary link for the LoginNotify notifications
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

We should add a primary link to the notifications which point to a page for best practices and security for passwords. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Make_sure_you_have_a_password seems like a good page for this.

I just realized that this task is blocked on creating the page we're linking to. @DannyH if you could tell me where the page would live I could link to it.

I'm not sure what Help namespace pages are for generally. @kaldari you got any thoughts on this?

@DannyH: "Help:Login_notifications" seems a bit limiting in scope. How about "Help:Account security"?

@kaldari This is going to have some language at the top specifically about how the notifications work -- you received a notification, here's why. Then under that is the general account security info...

@DannyH: Understood. Since this is also going to be the page linked to by 3rd party wiki login notifications, we should probably host it on MediaWiki.org rather than Meta.
