BREAKING CHANGE: Change $wgEchoDefaultNotificationTypes to be logical Merge and deploy at the *same time* as: * BounceHandler - I3c669945080d8e1f67880bd8a31af7f88a70904d * mediawiki-config - I13817c139967ed9e230cfb0c87c5de66da793c96 Despite claiming to be about categories, $wgEchoDefaultNotificationTypes was actually configuring both categories and types (which go inside categories). For example, 'thank-you-edit' is a type, but 'emailuser' is both a category and a type (when used as a category, this has special effects at Special:Preferences). Since types and categories can and sometimes do have the same names, this leaves no way to properly and clearly configure them. It also makes it difficult to document what is going on (as required by T132127). Split into three variables: $wgDefaultNotifyTypeAvailability - Applies unless overriden $wgNotifyTypeAvailabilityByCategory - By category; this can be and is displayed at Special:Preferences $wgNotifyTypeAvailabilityByNotificationType - By type; this cannot be displayed at Special:Preferences. To avoid confusing the user, we introduce a restriction (which was previously followed in practice, AFAICT) that types can only be overridden if the category is not displayed in preferences. Otherwise, it can look to the user like a category is on/off, but the types within might have the opposite state. Due to this configuration change, this is a breaking change, and needs coordinated deployments. This also lays the groundwork for T132127 Also change terminology to consistently use "notify type" for web/email. It was mixing between that and output format (which unfortunately sounds like the API format, e.g. 'model'). Bug: T132820 Bug: T132127 Change-Id: I09f39f5fc5f13f3253af9f7819bca81f1601da93

-----------
* Echo events now support multiple target pages. As a result The api output of individual
notifications within api.php?action=query&meta=notifications no longer has a 'targetpage'
property. This has been replaced with a 'targetpages' property which is the same as
'targetpage' was, but now as an array.
