What's the use case, here?

Pages like [[WP:AIV]], [[WP:UAA]], where we don't necessarily want people to know they have been reported.

That makes sense, although I suspect that if you're up at AIV you won't be able to do much before your block anyway ;p. Still, worth factoring into our next maintenance sprint (whenever that will be)

I propose that this bug should track also enabling of

I propose that this bug should track also *enabling* of ping notifications on a per-page basis.
We could use two behavior switches:

• "NOMENTIONS" to disable them on discussion and project namespaces;
• "MENTIONS" or "ENABLEMENTIONS" to enable them on other namespaces.

the Italian Wikipedia's Help Desk is located in the "Help" namespace, so we can't ping each other: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Permalink/63172567#bug_su_link_a_pagina_utente.3F

Probably the better solution for that is enabling pings in all namespaces (bug 55491).

Or enabling pings from the edit summary ( bug 49446 ) might work too...

My use case for this is that my notifications are flooded with new links to very general articles that I once created and which get linked very often (such as an administrative unit being linked from every single new article on its subdivision, of which there may be thousands). I do not want to disable the whole feature ("new links to articles that I have created") because I still want to see new links to those more specific articles that consist the majority of my contributions (but a minority of my new links notifications, at the moment). I thought there might be other users warring this, or who may have disabled this kind of notifications only for the hassle it brings when you are a somewhat aged contributor (or just happen to be the first acting Wikipedian when a new general topic comes to existence).
