I created a topic title with no first post, and then when people commented on the topic, I got notifications <Name> replied to your post in <topic title> on "<board>" View post: <http://ee-flow.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Flow_Team_Retrospective&workflow=0509f793805b34dffb6efa163e68c4ac&action=view#flow-post-0509f7b8c0cf34dffb6efa163e68c4ac> Since I never wrote a post, this is misleading. I think we need a separate message for top-level posts on a topic. Since the placeholder text for these is 'Comment on "<topic title>"', maybe the notification should be <Name> commented on the topic "<topic title>" you created on "<board>." (It's not "your topic" since that implies ownership of a topic.) Does someone who edits a topic title gets notifications? If so, then their message could be <Name> commented on the topic "<topic title>" that you edited on "<board>."
