AtMentions allows to quickly mention and notify a user from the VisualEditor menu. Users can be mentioned to create tasks.
Usage
If you mention a user on a page, the user's name is inserted as a mention-item. To mention a user:
- Select the Mention menu item in the editor toolbar.
- Enter a user name. The mention is added to the page.
The user is notified of the mention, because it creates a link to the user's profile page. Users can change their notification settings for mentions in their preference. By default, users get in-wiki notifications, but no email notifications.
