::One thing I've noticed is the new little box in the upper right, and in notification settings there are two new toggles, for "emails from users" and "mentions". Are there plans to implement a DM system or a ping system? In the short/medium/long term?

:::For "emails from users", MediaWiki has a built in feature where users can email other users on-wiki using [[Special:EmailUser]]. If used correctly, neither user will reveal their email to the other. We disabled this at launch for a technical reason (we were using a Gmail email address for all system emails which is not actually allowed by Gmail so we wanted to limit use) but this has now been resolved (as I set up email hosting for @tardis.wiki) so we might enable this at some point. We're undecided. | |||
:::For "mentions", this should already be working in theory but the documentation is rubbish and I've not yet tested it. I'm also not sure if this works in the forum namespace and, if it doesn't, it's not clear to me whether we can change that so it does. In theory, linking to any user's user page in the same edit that you sign a post should work, so [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] should ping you and [[User:Botgo50|Botgo50]] should ping my bot (allowing me to quickly test if this works), so long as I sign my post at the end. There are future plans to make this easier so you'd just be able to type @Najawin and that will automatically create a ping but that's not yet set up. | |||
:::In other news, the wiki's logo and favicon (the little icon that appears in the tab) are both broken. I've notified the syadmins and it's a simple fix so, when they're awake and back online, it should be fixed quite swiftly.
