The Echo extension provides an in-wiki notification system that can be used by other extensions. Thanks and StructuredDiscussions are two MediaWiki extensions that make use of Echo. See Notifications for a full description of what this extension does.
Installation
- The database user must have been granted the "REFERENCES" right for the database.
- Die Erweiterung herunterladen und die Datei(en) in ein Verzeichnis namens
Echoim Ordnerextensions/ablegen. - Folgenden Code am Ende Ihrer LocalSettings.php-Datei hinzufügen:
wfLoadExtension( 'Echo' );
- Führen Sie das Aktualisierungsskript aus, welches automatisch die notwendigen Datenbanktabellen erstellt, die diese Erweiterung braucht.
- If necessary configure at your convenience
Done – Zu Special:Version in dem Wiki (bei Einstellung auf deutsch nach Spezial:Version) navigieren, um die erfolgreiche Installierung der Erweiterung zu überprüfen.
To allow daily or weekly summary notifications to be delivered by mail (for users that choose that in preferences), the following script inside the Echo extension directory needs to be run on a daily basis, which can be scheduled in a cron job:
maintenance/processEchoEmailBatch.php
Konfiguration
In addition to setting default user preferences, you can also use the AddNewAccount hook to change user preferences on signup. That allows setting different user preferences going forward without affecting existing users.
See Special:DisplayNotificationsConfiguration for local details.

Architecture
Usage
- Notification negative list / positive list
There are occasionally specific users, typically bots, which perform maintenance tasks that should not generate notifications. To handle these cases, users can be globally blacklisted from the LocalSettings.php file (or InitialiseSettings.php in the case of WMF wikis):
$wgEchoAgentBlacklist = [ 'SampleBot', 'SampleUser' ];
There is also an on-wiki blacklist that can be maintained by the wiki's community. The location of the global on-wiki blacklist defaults to MediaWiki:Echo-blacklist. Individual users can override the blacklist by creating a whitelist. The whitelist location defaults to Special:MyPage/Echo-whitelist. All on-wiki lists expect to receive one case-specific username per line with no special markup or prefixes. For example:
SampleBot SampleUser
- "Mention" option
One of the notification types that this extension allows is: "Notify me when someone links to my user page." It might not be obvious to some users, but this particular notification only works when the person linking to another user's page also signs (~~~~) the post.
After installation of the extension, a new tab "Notifications" is created in a user's Special:Preferences page. Under the section "Notify me about these events", in front of the "Mention" option, the hoverbox states: "Notify me when someone links to my user page." If an administrator feels, that the requirement for signing the post isn't obvious in this help text, it can be modified by changing the text in the Wiki's MediaWiki:Echo-pref-tooltip-mention page.
Terminology
- notification - Any individual notice that is delivered by Echo
- message - A notification about activity in a Flow discussion
- alert - Any notification other than a message
