We would like to only display a notifications badge (or 'growler') next to the user name in the top right user menu -- instead of next to the current 'Notifications' link, which we plan to remove.

That badge would be shown at all times -- with a red color and a number if you have new notifications, or grayed out with a zero if you have no new notifications.

On hover, it would display a tooltip ('Notifications').

This may require a change to MediaWiki Core, as it impacts the user menu that is shown at the top right of most pages.
