Ticket T132977 enables users to disable notifications types from within notifications. This is not full-featured volume control, as has been discussed, but more of a shortcut to the Notifications Preferences. Before we create that capability, it will be desirable to first have a look at the categories and the Preferences page to address certain inconsistencies. These are discussed in T132426, and include:
- Make the Mentions category apply to all mentions, including flow mentions.
- Make the Talk Page category apply to all talk page notifications, including Flow notifications.
- Eliminate the Flow preference/category per se and replace it with one or more preferences/categories defined functionally--e.g., "Discussion updates" or similar.
The current categorization is:
```
System (system): welcome, thank-you-edit
User rights change (user-rights): user-rights
Other (other):
Talk page message (edit-user-talk): edit-user-talk
Edit revert (reverted): reverted
Page link (article-linked): page-linked
Mention (mention): mention
Email from other user (emailuser): emailuser
Flow (flow-discussion): flow-new-topic, flow-post-reply, flow-post-edited, flow-topic-renamed, flow-summary-edited, flow-description-edited, flow-mention, flow-enabled-on-talkpage, flow-topic-resolved
Page review (page-review): pagetriage-mark-as-reviewed, pagetriage-add-maintenance-tag, pagetriage-add-deletion-tag
Thanks (edit-thank): edit-thank, flow-thank
```
