Delayed notifications on mobile Wikipedia
Closed, DuplicatePublicBUG REPORT

Description

I noticed that I subscribed to a Talk conversation and didn't get notifications of replies for 6 hours after they were published. The notifications also didn't show up until I had manually checked the page for replies and starred the page when I noticed that I hadn't been notified.

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Use mobile Wikipedia website
  • Subscribe to a conversation heading on a talk page
  • A user publishes a message to that conversation
  • No notification is sent
  • Star the Talk page
  • Notifications appear with correct timestamp

What happens?:

No notification is sent when Talk heading is changed. Notification is sent when Talk page is starred.

What should have happened instead?:

Notification is sent when un-starred Talk heading is changed.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

I'm using Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, en.m.wikipedia.org, Firefox Android.

Event Timeline

I think this may be different from the other issue because there was no notification item for the new messages when I clicked the bell icon to check. The notification items only appeared in the bell menu once I starred the page.
