At https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Notifications
in a bundled "new topics" notification, there are no clickable links in the text:

  • 4 new topics on Talk:Flow 2 days ago

In the flyout, this would link to /w/index.php?title=Talk:Flow&topiclist_sortby=newest&fromnotif=1

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

not just bundled ones.

In the Echo flyout the entire notification is often a link to something relevant. But when presented in Special:Notifications, this super-link behavior is absent. I think the thought was that individual items in the notification would be links, so you would click those.

IMO we should have the same "entire link" work in Special:Notifications for consistency.

I added a card for us to talk about in the next grooming meeting: https://trello.com/c/NdzV0EwI

This feels like a simple fix to me.

We solved this individual case, but there is a higher level issue with a link that is used only in the flyout and not available from Special:Notifications.
