When notifications get bundled, they get a specific copy for the bundle group (e.g., "Links were made from Easter Island and 2 other pages to Moai").
Once we allow to expand such bundles to show the individual items we need to define a specific message for them in order to avoid the communication to be too verbose. Otherwise, the individual items will repeat information that is already in the bundle container, making each item to be hard to distinguish from each other.
# Examples# The problem
The mockup below shows some examples of text copy for individual notifications inside and outside of a bundle.
{F3405248}
Using the regular copy for individual items will result in situations like this:
> - 4 new replies to “How the Moai moved?”
> -- New reply on “How the Moai moved”: "I don't think so..."
> -- New reply on “How the Moai moved”: "Moais are great..."
> -- New reply on “How the Moai moved”: "Yes, that is a widely known fact...."
> -- New reply on “How the Moai moved”: "Do you know Moais have a body too..."
A less verbose copy is preferred for such cases:
> - 4 new replies to “How the Moai moved?”
> -- Ludmilla replied: "I don't think s: "I don't think so..."
> -- Fama: "Moais are great..."
> -- Ludmilla: “How the Moai moved”: "Yes, that is a widely known fact...."
> -- Fama: "Do you know Moais have a body too..."
# Proposed solution
**Keep as non-expandable:** (we don't need individual messages for these)
- Flow-post-edited
- flowusertalk-post-edited
- Flow-summary-edit
- Flowboard-description-edited
**Make expandable:**
- Page-linked
- Flow-new-topic
- Flow-post-reply
- flowusertalk-new-topic
- Flowusertalk-post-reply
Here are the more concise language formulations for messages in expandable bundles. Note that changes have been made both to the "parent" messages (the ones that announce "5 new topics created..." etc.) and the "sub" messages. Contrary to what had been supposed, no changes to the linking schemes for each message should be required (except, of course, to put the secondary links into the dotdot menus).
**Page-linked**
- Bundle: Links were made from 99 pages to **Moai**.
- bundled message: Linked from **Easter Island**.
**Flow-new-topic**
- Bundle: 5 new topics created on **Moai**.
- Bundled message: "**How the Moai moved?**" //[topic name]//
**flowusertalk-new-topic**
- Bundle: 5 new topics created on **your talk page**.
- Bundled message: “**How the Moai moved?**” //[topic name]//
**Flow-post-reply**
- Bundle: 5 new replies in "**How the Moai moved?**".
- Bundled message: Ludmilla: “I don't think sails were used…” //[excerpt]//
> -- Fama replied: "Moais are great..."
**Flowusertalk-post-reply**
> -- Ludmilla - Bundle: 5 new replied: “How the Moai moved”: "Yes, that is a widely known fact...."s on **your talk page** in "**How the Moai Moved?**".
> -- Fama replied: "Do you know Moais have a body too..."
- Bundled message: Ludmilla: “The Birdman cult was practiced until….” //[excerpt]//
