For example, I'd love to see it giving notifications of when photos from Commons are used in the projects, along the lines of '10 of your photos were added to Wikipedia articles.

It always makes me happy when I find one of mine being used (a rare rhing in reality) but would surely encourage retention of contributors.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Thanks to the people who made Echo, VisualEditor and Wikidata
With due thanks, I would like to specifically point to these two bugs, as I believe they're changing the style of talking unnecessarily. I would like you to see the potential for fixing these early. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49446 - Notifications: Linking a username in an Edit-Summary should trigger a notification https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30750 - Notify user when username used in an edit summary gry ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe

And I'd like to thank those who are working on making default settings saner, because at the last presentation I gave in March I could just tell them how easy it is for them to follow what happens to pages after their edits. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=50039maxdepth=1hide_resolved=0 (We were not able to see VisualEditor because the library doesn't have money to upgrade their Windows computers...)
