--- Comment #26 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #25) > There is some overlap with Echo with this. In general, yes. Both extensions provide a 'notification' functionality, however there are some pretty big differences as well. 1) Echo notifications for the most part are private; only you can see your Echo notifications. MM is designed so that everything (target list, message content) is fully public. 2) Echo is centered around users, given that you can only send notifications to users. MM can send to basically any page, which is necessary for global message delivery (most messages are sent to village pumps, not users directly). 3) Echo notifications are quick short messages that usually are just a link to something else. In many cases, EdwardsBot delivers the whole message to your talk page (example: <https://en.wikipedia.org/?diff=prev&oldid=565236352>). In this regard MM has been designed so that the end user receiving the message would not see any difference. (In reply to comment #25) > if we enable this extension we could always disable it should > Echo supersede it. I don't think merging MM into Echo is a good idea. Rather, MM should use Echo notifications instead of talk page ones if $wgMMUseEcho is enabled. Or something like that... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
