Registered wiki users receive notifications for a variety of changes to the wiki. Users can subscribe to different types of notifications.
Automatically generated notifications
Some notifications are not dependent on a subscription and are always automatically sent to users. These include:
- Reminders: Your reminders are due in one week or today
- Read confirmation requests: You have a new read confirmation request
- Mentions and tasks: Another user mentioned you or a new task was assigned to you
- Workflow notifications: A workflow you initiated has finished or you have a new workflow task
- Page assignment changes: Someone assigned you to a page or removed your page assignment.
Note: Users are not automatically notified about changes on pages to which they are assigned. Assigned users have to subscribe to be notified. - Changes to your user page by other users
- Reverted changes via the page history by other users
- Changes to your wiki permissions and other administrative events
List of events that trigger automatic notifications
Events without notifications
The following events do not trigger notifications:
- own edits
- page revisions that are marked as "minor edit"
Subscribing to notifications
In addition to automatic notifications, you can subscribe to additional notifications. These custom notification sets are meant to inform you about very specific events in a single context (for example: page approvals in a particular namespace).
To subscribe to a notification set:
- Click on Preferences in your user menu.
- Switch to the tab Notifications.
- Click the Add button.
- Create your notification subscription. See below for selecting the options.
- Click Done to save your new notification set.

Delivery method | By default, notifications appear in the wiki itself. If you want to get email notifications as well, you need to activate the email checkbox. |
Viewing notifications
If a user has unread notifications, the bell symbol in the top toolbar shows the number of new notifications. Clicking the notification symbols opens a mega menu with the 10 most recent notifications.
At the end of the notifications is a link to view all notifications. This link opens the Notification center.
The following features are available in the Notification center:
1 - Notifications filter: The filter lists notifications by category or namespace.
2 - Status tab: You can view unread notifications as well as read notifications or all notifications.
3 - Preferences: Here you can clear the unread notifications list or go to your user preferences to update your notification subscriptions.
4 - Notification: Clicking on the filled-in blue notification marker will mark a notification as read.
Customizing the notification emails
By default, the emails use the settings from the page Special:FlexiSkin. If your wiki does not have active FlexiSkin settings, the standard template uses the BlueSpice Logo and default colors.
You can customize the content and design of the default email layout directly in the wiki. This requires changes to the following three pages:
- MediaWiki:Wrapper.mail
- MediaWiki:SingleNotification.mail
- MediaWiki:DigestNotification.mail
