Acceptance criteria

• Notifications will be delivered if a user types in [[User:*]] in the edit summary (or a piped link). Templates will not be supported.
  • Should support the localized namespace name for the wiki's language (e.g. [[Benutzer:Apples]] in German or [[利用者:Apples]] in Japanese.)
• The contents of the notification (on-wiki and email) should be:
  • Icon: Existing Mention icon Echo mention icon.svg
  • Text: Username mentioned you in an edit summary on pagename.
    • Should use the same pagename detection logic as the existing Mention notification.
    • Page name should be bolded.
  • First few characters of the edit summary, truncated with an ellipsis so the preview displays on one line.
  • Link & person icon to user who mentioned you
  • When the on-wiki notification is clicked or the 'View mention' button is clicked in an email, the notification should navigate the user to the diff page of the mention
  • Email subject: Username mentioned you on wikiname
• Preferences
  • When the 'Mention' notification preference is disabled, the notification should not be delivered, for both on-wiki and email notifications
  • Mute list should be respected (e.g. If Apples mutes Bananas, Bananas can link to [[User:Apples]] in an edit summary but Apples will not receive either an on-wiki or email notification.)
• If a user includes more than 5 usernames in an edit summary, only the first 5 users in the list should receive a mention notification. The other usernames should be allowed in the edit summary, but should not trigger mention notifications.
