####Summary of this RFC This proposes that we move part of the implementation of the [Notification framework RFC](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Notification_framework) currently in the Echo extension into MediaWiki core. * Being in an extension, Echo has to use ugly hooks to suppress some core features and has generally weird interactions with some things. * extensions that wish to use it have to do conditional checks every time they'd like to trigger a notifications. * Echo is a reserved word in PHP, preventing us from using it as the namespace for a PHP class. ;-) Note: This RFC doesn't answer the questions in [RFC: Need to merge Notifications and Watchlist or lack thereof](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Need_to_merge_Notifications_and_Watchlist_or_lack_thereof) (T128352) ####Full details [mw:Requests_for_comment/Notifications_in_core](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Notifications_in_core) 2016-08-03 RFC meeting: https://tools.wmflabs.org/meetbot/wikimedia-office/2016/wikimedia-office.2016-08-03-21.02.html
