Update Notifications documentation to reflect which notifications Temp accounts get
Open, MediumPublic

Description

The list of notifications is in T333531: Temporary users should have default notification preferences.
The global documentation is at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Notifications/Types

A possible solution to ease this work would be to create a template that reflects the status of each notification for each role (regular account vs temp accounts)


Methodology

  1. Update https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Notification_type
    1. add a new parameter to display for "only for regular accounts", and a default "available for regular and temporary accounts"
    2. hide the parameters from being visible until the release
  2. update https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Notifications/Types to reflect the status of notifications for temp users as in T333531
  3. When temp accounts are available, update https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Notification_type to show the new parameters

Event Timeline

KStoller-WMF moved this task from Inbox to Backlog on the Growth-Team board.

@KStoller-WMF is there a timeline for completing this task?

@Trizek-WMF Do you think you can aim to work on this next sprint?

I know you are busy, but perhaps we could aim to keep this as simple as adding this line to the Help:Notifications/Types page:

Temporary accounts will receive notifications based on default new user preferences, but they cannot access or modify these settings.

KStoller-WMF raised the priority of this task from Low to Medium.Sep 9 2024, 10:29 PM
