Bug ID: 66503
Summary: Location-based notifications (Geonotices) in Echo
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement

This is basically a feature request, similar to Bug 56362, but for
location-based notifications.
The current Geonotice system
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Geonotice) is fairly hackish. There is
a lot of overhead—admins monitoring a requests page must add the correct JS
code and geocoordinates—just to trigger a message above users' watchlists,
which is not where anyone necessarily expects to get notifications, and
certainly where no one checks for them (and some people presumably don't use
watchlists).
The ideal solution, I think, would be for users to be able to send geonotices
as Echo notifications, so the target users will actually be notified. If this
would make the Geonotice request system more user-friendly/efficient, that
would be a big plus as well.
