Discussions notifications
An announcement notification
Forum and Message Wall notifications
Various types of messages that may display in the lower right corner
Notifications alert you to new messages on Memory Alpha or activity on Fandom in general. They help in keeping you informed of the latest events related to your community and your account. Notifications may appear in the upper right or lower right of your screen, depending on the feature.
Discussions and Announcements[]
Notifications from Discussions and Announcements are shown when you hover on the "bell" icon dropdown.
You will automatically receive a notification in there if any of the following actions take place:
- A user upvotes your posts or replies.
- There is a new reply on a post that you are following, on any community.
- There is an announcement created on a community where you have been active in the past 90 days.
Notifications on the "bell" icon are sorted chronologically. They can be dismissed individually (without following the link) by clicking on the icon at the left of each notification. They can be dismissed as a group by using the "Mark all as read" option at the top left of the list.
Other messages[]
You will automatically receive a notification in the lower right if any of the following actions take place:
- Your user talk page on Memory Alpha or any other community is edited.
- An admin updates announcements from the community you are currently viewing.
- A new message from Fandom staff is created.
This type of notification can be dismissed by clicking the "X" in the upper right corner of the notice.
