--- Comment #2 from Fabrice Florin <[email protected]> ---
Hi MZ, we would like to get more community feedback on the question of how many
links to include in the notifications that appear in the flyout and the archive
page. There are good arguments for and against having a single link per
notification. 

For now, we have implemented it differently on the flyout (only one link) and
on the archive page (several links), so that community members can compare
these two approaches easily. This is also consistent with the way other top
sites like Facebook have solved this issue: on FB, the flyout has a single
link, but it has multiple links on their archive page.

This is a tough issue to solve. For experienced users, having multiple links is
beneficial, because it gives them more flexibility. For new users, a single
link is preferrable, because it doesn't force them to make a decision. Also,
for some notifications, it is not always obvious which single link is most
useful to all user groups. For example, the Thanks notification takes you to
the diff page, but one could make a reasonable argument that linking to the
user page of the person who thanked you could lead to a more constructive
interaction than just going back to the edit you previously made.

For all those reasons, we would like to punt on this issue, and make a decision
in a few weeks, after we've heard from both new and experienced users.

Thanks for your understanding.
