Description:
The Mentions notification is an alert provided by [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Echo | echo extension ]] that occurs when your username is mentioned by someone else, with a link on any talk page (other than yours). This notification is already turned on by default on every Wikimedia user page. However, if a user wants to get notified about every the success or failure of every user he or she sent a message to, the user can do so in the [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo | preference]] section.
Bug: I changed my [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo | preferences]] to enable this notification(That is, to get notified if I was able to successfully mention a user or if I wasn't able to successfully mention a user) but for some reason, it doesn't work.
For example, if a user mentions a username that does not exist in mediawiki.org on a talk page or edits summary, this mention will not be successful. I tried this too but I didn't get notified about it.
