Description Steven Walling 2013-01-04 18:38:38 UTC 
In testing Echo on MediaWiki.org, I got the following email notification:

Subject:A page you started was cross referenced on MediaWiki

"User talk:MAssaf (WMF) was linked by MediaWiki user MAssaf (WMF), from this page: User talk:Steven (WMF)"

This means that any time I create a user talk page, and that person signs their name anywhere, users will currently receive a talk page notification. These notifications are not actionable. 

The simplest solution here is to limit notifications about pages I start to ns0. We can be assured that articles I start are much more important to me, as an editor, than user talk pages, sandboxes, etc.
