Description Benoît Evellin 2013-09-01 09:59:15 UTC 
Request on French Wikipedia : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_Wikip%C3%A9dia:Notifications#D.C3.A9sactiver_les_mentions_faites_par_les_bots

We sometimes use bots to deliver messages to newbies, when an editor answers a question on the local Teahouse. We put a link to the editor page on the message, which is very useful for the newbie (he can carry on the conversation), and this user gets a notification.

Is there a way to disable the notification when a message is delivered by a bot ?

On the English Wikipedia, we have [[w:MediaWiki:Echo-blacklist]]

This is all the documentation I can find: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo/Feature_requirements#Blacklist
Is that enough to get your own version going, or should I ask a dev to give more detailed instructions?

Wonderful ! :)

Thanks a lot, we didn't know this feature.
