Bug ID: 47313
Summary: Disable "You have new messages" for anonymous users
after 30 days
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: king.of.hearts.w...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
There is a proposal
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28proposals%29#.22You_have_new_messages.22_alert_for_not_registered_visitors_to_expire_after_30_days),
currently with unanimous support, to stop showing the "You have new messages"
alert to IPs after 30 days. The rationale is that innocent users often see
these alerts and get angry because they did not commit the vandalism they are
accused of, etc.
Also, would it be possible for the expiry time to be encoded in a
MediaWiki-namespace page? Then local admins would be able to change it without
needing the devs.
