We love Vibha's new design for the email digest: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/EmailDigestUX_Leftalignedcategories.png But the category headers are so long that they are hard to parse and add unnecessary clutter. Consider these tweaks: • remove the word 'notifications' after the category headers • use the same short labels for each category as in preferences (e.g. 'page link', 'edit revert') • require developers to specify a plural for those labels as well (e.g. 'page links', 'edit reverts') Current requirements for this feature are outlined here, and will be updated based on our discussions: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo/Feature_requirements#HTML_email_digests
If we include bundled notifications in the digests, the counts in the headers aren't going to be accurate anyway. In that case, we should just have headers like: "Page Reviews", "Talk Page Posts", etc.
I don't think there is a nice and clean way to reuse these messages, the only way I can think of is to change all 'echo-category-title-*' messages, for example, 'Page link' to 'Page {{PLURAL:$1|link|links}}, that will require passing the number 1 for singular case
