Got following notification: """ Pages you started were cross referenced on MediaWiki Development policy/da, Coding conventions/da, Security for developers/da, Manual:Pre-commit checklist/da were linked by MediaWiki user Ribe, from this page: Developer hub/da View more: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_hub/da """ I, to my knowledge has never visited, watched, created, or imagined any of the pages given. Thus I must assume the notification system is going mad!
What's your MediaWiki username, Carl?
it's AzaToth
I wonder if it's a issue regarding subpages. Did you creating any of the parents for any of those pages?
It's also possible we're just grabbing the wrong page_ids for some reason. Are there any links on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_hub/da that are to pages you created?

If this is annoying you, you can go to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo and disable it (untick "Creates a link to an article I created")
(In reply to comment #8) > If this is annoying you, you can go to > https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo and > disable it (untick "Creates a link to an article I created") True, but I need to stand stong and await it to be fixed instead of going the easy way out.

Thanks for providing the information, we will track down the cause of this bug
Hi Carl, Sorry about all the spams to your email! We have found out the cause of this bug. I am applying a patch now.
@Carl: It looks like your account was associated with an "orphan" revision in the database, i.e. a revision assigned to article id 0 (See bug 16674). This was the reason you were getting all the random notices. Thanks for the help troubleshooting the bug and sorry for the spam.
Resolved on Gerrit change #42290 that has been merged, although not deployed yet
I'm still getting erroneous messages from mediawiki.org, and assume I'm not totally wrong, the change has been deployed to mediawiki.org at this time.

The change was just deployed, the notification might come from old code
