As tested in the URL above, if a user mentions another user when replying to a post using LQT, the other user is not notified. Maybe this is because Echo requires the comment to be manually signed and LQT warns the user when it does so (since it adds a signature automatically, outside of the wikicode of the commment)?
The WMF core features team tracks this bug on Mingle card https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/flow/cards/389, but people from the community are welcome to contribute here and in Gerrit.
Change 93508 had a related patch set uploaded by Legoktm: Remove namespace restriction for mention notifications https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/93508
First issue, any link outside of NS_PROJECT / talk namespaces are ignored. Above patchset will fix that. Then there is the signature issue. Maybe we should just special case NS_THREAD and ignore the signature requirement for that namespace?
This patch https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/93508 does not support Chinese. Our English version have exactly the same environment and setting as Chinese version. However, mention only succeed in English ver: http://en.moegirl.org/Talk:Sandbox . Not Chinese ver: http://zh.moegirl.org/Talk:%E8%AE%A8%E8%AE%BA%E7%89%88#at.E6.8F.90.E5.8F.8A.E9.AA.9A.E6.89.B0.E5.8A.9F.E8.83.BD.E7.8E.B0.E5.B7.B2.E6.94.AF.E6.8C.81.E4.BA.86.7E

Since no one else has had any other suggestions since November, I'll look into seeing how hard it will be to implement this.

Any progress on this? We are still missing notifications on Portuguese Wikibooks: https://pt.wikibooks.org/wiki/T%C3%B3pico:Wikilivros_Discuss%C3%A3o:Portal_comunit%C3%A1rio/IMPORTANTE:_Revis%C3%A3o_da_atividade_dos_administradores/resposta
Understandable frustration, but (in)compatibility with LQT is not a "major" bug. (In reply to Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) from comment #6) > > > Then there is the signature issue.

Makes sense but it's not only about signature. Every *new* page creation in NS_THREAD should be considered an add-comment action by interpretDiff() and friends I guess. What to extract as header of the discussion, though?
