Description Bartosz Dziewoński 2013-08-21 20:53:23 UTC 
All Echo notifications mentioning the acting user ("agent") should have his nick linked to his user page, to allow notif's recipient to quickly respond to the notif on agent's talk page.

Currently it seems only Thanks notifs do this.

(If the reasoning for not doing it was that users can now just ping each other to respond, let me just point out that some wikis, e.g. pl.wp, have a convention of *always* replying to user talk page messages on the other person's talk page, and old habits die hard :) )

Note that this behaviour is already present in [[Special:Notifications]], but is not present in the Notifications-flyout.

I agree that consistent linking would be good. (but see also bug 53564)
