A new notification have to address a specific need which can't be well addressed by other tools. Sometimes, Notifications may not be the best tool.</p> <p><b>Example:</b> A new service provides resources to Wikipedia users when they have reached a certain number of edits.</p> <ul> <li>To inform all users of that new service, Notifications are not the best tool. Messages on Village Pumps and blog post are the best communication tools.</li> <li>To inform users that they are eligible to that service, Notifications can be a good tool. That may be grouped with a more general Notification tool to inform people of what they have access to.</li> <li>To inform eligible users that there is new resources available, Notifications are not the best tool. Messages on talk pages would be preferred.</li> </ul> <p>That way, Notification can keep a clear scope.</p> <p>If you have any doubts, please contact the <a href="https://www-mediawiki-org.translate.goog/wiki/Collaboration?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=te&_x_tr_hl=te" title="Collaboration">Collaboration team</a>.</p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"> <h2 id="Create_a_new_notification_type" data-mw-thread-id="h-Create_a_new_notification_type"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Create_a_new_notification_type"></span>Create a new notification type<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Create_a_new_notification_type"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="https://www-mediawiki-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Help:Notifications/Document_a_new_notification_type&action=edit&section=2&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=te&_x_tr_hl=te" title="Edit section: Create a new notification type"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"> <h3 id="How-to" data-mw-thread-id="h-How-to-Create_a_new_notification_type"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-How-to-Create_a_new_notification_type"></span>How-to<span data-mw-comment-end="h-How-to-Create_a_new_notification_type"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="https://www-mediawiki-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Help:Notifications/Document_a_new_notification_type&action=edit&section=3&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=te&_x_tr_hl=te" title="Edit section: How-to"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span> </div> <p>Create a task on <a href="https://www-mediawiki-org.translate.goog/wiki/Phabricator?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=te&_x_tr_hl=te" title="Phabricator">Phabricator</a> and tag it with <code>#Notifications</code> tag. <a class="external text" href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=te&hl=te&u=https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153364">A version of the form below, styled for proper Phabricator display</a>, has been created for your convenience.
