No notification when linking a username in edit summary
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

This edit did not give me a notification that Aoba47 was notified. Edit summary notifications appear to be working for other users based on the complaints of bot accounts being bombarded with emails, so I assume the issue is that there is no notification to the user who links the username. I have "failed mention" and "successful mention" checked in the "web" column of the "notify me about these events" part of the notifications section of Special:Preferences.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Link a username in an edit summary
