           Summary: Remove preference "Show talk page message indicator in
                    my toolbar" (echo-show-alert)
           Product: MediaWiki extensions

In a bright (distant?) future, we'll be able to remove the preference "Show
talk page message indicator in my toolbar" (echo-show-alert) which currently
occupies a section of [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo]]. (Context:
the "New message indicator" is (currently) a smallish orange bar in the
[[mw:personal tools]], which replaced the [[m:OBOD]] aka [[m:New messages
notification]].)

This may require some change to the indicator in question so that it's perfect
enough, or something else, I don't know; but eventually it will need/be able to
to be removed.

Current stats show that only a minuscule fraction of users use this preference.
Of course numbers are skewed by deployment history (cf.
[[mw:Echo/Release_Plan_2013#Completed]]), existence of local gadgets to replace
the indicator etc.: in particular, on en.wiki they are completely meaningless
given the number of back and forths on the feature with removals, changes,
local hacks, user scripts, gadgets etc. However, the order of magnitude gives
an idea.
