Just to mention it: I have a user script, that does (among other things) offer to remind you of an article, storing everything locally: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Schnark/js/notizen.js If anyone wants to borrow ideas or code from this, feel free to do so. I'm sorry it has almost no comments, and the documentation is in German, but you can just try it out by adding mw.loader.load('https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:Schnark/js/notizen.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); to your common.js. The script itself has an English localization, so you should be able to use it.

I cleaned up the milestone formatting and dates without actually changing anything (week 6 was really week 6-7, and I just merged week 7 in since it was the same thing anyway)

There's Extension:Reminder, which seems to implement this functionality.

I've explored this Extension, using the test wiki provided, but I haven't managed to create a reminder and the extension has apparently UX issues like all the process is abandoned because I've tried to create a link to [[test]] but the right title was [[Test]]. There is to few documentation to have enough information I'm afraid. :/

Also the goal is to provide a reminder system fully integrated to the Extension:Notifications.

Hello! Thank you for featuring this project in the previous edition of Outreachy. As this task is on the Outreach Programs workboard, I'm wondering what else is remaining on it before it can be resolved? Thank you!

IIRC, there is some code review to do, plus QA.

As T161823 got closed as a duplicate of this task, some work towards resolving this task has taken place in Outreachy Round 14.

What is the status of this task in general (and its subtasks, which are nearly all assigned to @Eee888)?
@srishakatux: I assume that some work is left and therefore this task should be moved on the Outreach-Programs-Projects back to the Backlog column after clarifying what's left, plus maybe resetting the assignee field?

Could someone from the Growth-Team clarify please, to not leave this in a confusing limbo which won't allow other contributors to chime in?:

Does someone plan to review code linked in

@Aklapper the Growth team doesn't have time to work on these tasks in the near-to-medium term.

If a contributor or volunteer would like to get involved, the first step would be assess all of the linked tasks in your comment above and determine their status, along with the status of any associated patches, and then probably create new tasks or edit existing ones so that the scope and requirements are well-defined.

I noticed that there's now a screenshot on that page! Given "A picture is worth a thousand words", I thought it worth re-mentioning...

For enwiki, I have a bot that does this now

@DannyS712 Can you share details on this bot? Thanks!

Sure. Its extremely basic, but essentially:

• User adds an entry to User:Name/RemindM.json with the date for the reminder and the text to include. I developed a script, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DannyS712/RemindMe, to easily add new reminders

Eg the most recent reminder I scheduled for myself: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:DannyS712/RemindMe.json&diff=982081015&oldid=980370576

[
    "2020-10-10",
    "[[User:Vermont/CVUA/DannyS712]]: Take the test"
]

• User transcludes Template:PleaseRemindMe to their user or user talk page, so the bot knows which users are using the service
• Every day, bot queries for users transcluding that template, looks at their /RemindMe.json, finds any reminders for the day, and posts them to the user's talk page

Bot code is at https://github.com/DannyS712/bot/blob/master/remindMe.js

The downside of this is that the content of scheduled reminders and notifications is public. I can envision an extension that does this though outside of echo:
table for user, timestamp of reminder, reminder text
if the timestamp passes, notification is sent and removed from the database

Very cool, @DannyS712! Thanks!
