Mentions
editApparently we get a notification when we are "explicitly mentioned on a talk page". Does this mean, in my case for example, someone would have to say "Richard BB", or would they have to say "User:Richard BB" or "[[User:Richard BB]]" or "{{user|Richard BB}}"? If it's the first of those, couldn't this create problems for users who have very simple user names? If, for example, my user name was just "Richard", wouldn't I be getting a notification every time someone types the word "Richard" on any old talk page, which might happen at, say, Richard Nixon or Richard Branson?

- To the best of my knowledge, it has to link to your userpage somehow as well as be signed at the end. MJ94 (talk) 19:40, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- I see, thanks. In other news, I've just realised that I posted this in entirely the wrong venue; apologies. — Richard BB 20:07, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
