- On my [[Special:Notifications]], it includes article titles of articles that link to pages I created, the subject lines of discussions that mention me or that are made on my talk page, and the usernames of all people who trigger notices. This is true even if the article is deleted, the discussion is renamed, or the user is renamed. This would seem to be bad from an [[WP:OS|oversight]] perspective, because if a discussion subject or article title contained private information, like [[Jenny at 867-5309]] or <nowiki>==Matt Bisanz from 34th Street in New York is being mean to me==</nowiki> and was properly oversighted, it would still appear in any number of people's [[Special:Notifications]] page, defeating the purpose of oversight. This would also be true if the action was done by [[User:MBisanz is at 867-5309]] and the username was suppressed or forcibly renamed.

- :Notifications are basically private to the users which they were sent to, there's no point trying to hide things which people have (or should have in the case of non-recent unread notifications) already seen. It's not the same situation as the public logs/history where new, uninvolved, users could come along and see now-private information. --[[User:Krenair|<span style="color: orange; font-weight: bold; font-family: Ubuntu;">Krenair</span>]] <sup><span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">([[User talk:Krenair|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Krenair|contribs]])</span></sup> 21:51, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
