For the records, getting that view doesn't work in Firefox, only in Chromium here...

Cannot reproduce in Chromium 125:

Are there additional steps required?

Thx, @Aklapper for looking into it. It's an interesting issue: it seems that the monobook skin should be actually enabled in Special:Preferences. When useskin=monobook is used, the issue is not present. Confirmed in Chrome 125 and FF 126.

The notifications from other wikis cannot be viewed since

  • the displayed notifications are from one wiki only
  • there is no way to view other wikis notifications
