As explained at
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Newyorkbrad&oldid=561300984#Question_for_TPWs>,
it goes something like this:
* editor mistakenly adds {{WP:FOO}} to a talk page;
* {{WP:FOO}} gets expanded and suddenly a bunch of users get notifications
about a mention wherever {{WP:FOO}} was added;
* editor fixes syntax ({{WP:FOO}}), transclusion goes away, notifications
linger causing confusion
