Thanks for your work on this, Daniel. As an update, this has now been
merged and deployed to all wikis (it's part of 1.20wmf11).
It's easy to play with - in e.g. Chrome, open the dev tools on any
Wikipedia page (F12), and then enter on the console:
mw.notify( 'The Wikipedia Signpost app is out!' );
This creates a notification with no parameters/options. Running it
repeatedly will stack the notifications.
As a second parameter, you can specify several options:
autoHide: true/false - should the notification time out after 5
seconds - if not, click to hide
title: if specified, shown in bold text above the notification itself
tag: if specified, a message with the same tag will replace the most
recently displayed message with this tag
e.g.
mw.notify( 'The Wikipedia Signpost app is out!', { autoHide: false,
title: 'Mobile updates', tag: 'mobile' } );
This example shows a notification that has to be clicked to be hidden,
and that's tagged, so any other 'mobile' notifications will replace
it.
Is the system documented somewhere already so gadget/script authors
can start using it?
