This has high priority because mention notification is being used by many people, and if one can not rely on it, it becomes utterly useless (or worse than that for those people who do rely on it). I just experienced this problem for the third time at [[:en:User_talk:Chris_the_speller#The_page_.22Resident_Magistrate.22_has_been_moved_to_.22Resident_magistrate.22]].

Hopefully, thought this was just a time lag; it was probably less than an hour until I noticed the edit in the Watchlist and went to the article anyway. To rule that out that, I could search for mentions of my user name in the last week in all talk pages.If that would help, and if it is possible (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help_talk:CirrusSearch#Edit_date.2Ftime_53704), please let me know at [[:en:User Talk:SebastianHelm]].
