Use case: * The user opens VisualEditor * The user types something that looks like wikitext * VE notices and displays an mw.notify bubble with autoHide:false * The user leaves VE by clicking on the Read tab * The editor is torn down and we go back to view mode, but the bubble persists I would like to be able to remove this bubble when the editor is torn down, but mw.notification doesn't expose an API for this. There is a .close() method on Notification, but there's no way to get the Notification object created by mw.notify().
I had this problem in Gerrit change #5130. Had to depend on mediawiki.notification, add a 'return notif' to the mw.notification.notify function and use that instead of mw.notify.
I'd say that this is expected behavior and a "feature" of the shorthand. Just like you can't have a message parsed by just doing mw.msg(), you have to use mw.message().whatever() instead. Alex's solution makes sense at a glance.

Returning the Notification object would fix this, yes. Unfortunately, that change is still pending review.
