Topic names in echo should reflect the topic they will take me to, irrespective of the topic has changed names (e.g. if the topic name changes echo notifications after the name change should reflect in the echo notifications after the change)
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
I tried this out on Mediawiki:Talk:Sandbox.
I used two accounts: DannyH_(WMF) and a sockpuppet, BanjoDog.
The obvious flaw is that the "changed the title" notification should say: <BanjoDog changed the title of Apples to "Bananas" on Talk:Sandbox.> -- instead of <Bananas to "Bananas">
It would be nice if the title in the original notification changed even if there aren't any new responses in that thread, but I think it's fine the way it is, if we can fix the <Bananas to "Bananas"> bug.
on, Quora where I'm used to seeing the behavior all references (even past ones) to the previous name are changed to the new name except the one that mentions the change. I think both options could work, they both have pros and cons. I'm tempted to say the specific issue you mentioned above should be logged as a seperate task, prioritized high, and this one should be deprioritized until we receive further feedback.

When a thread on the Developer test page had its name changed, the notification was incorrect. As can be seen here, it showed the name which it was changed to twice, instead of the name which was changed from and the name which it was changed to once each.
