Various requests have been made to allow unbundling of notification types. This could either be a preference per notification type, or some sort of UI affordance to see the unbundled rendering of a bundled set of message. Could also be a global preference to not bundle any notifications.

Editor request: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Notifications#Discussion_on_unbundling_page_creator_notifications

"I really like receiving page link notifications on an article I created, Social network, because so many editors link to it inappropriately (usually referring to Social networking services). However, it's painful to logon and see a notification that one specific article AND a bunch of other unspecified articles have been linked to Social network with no way for me to determine which of several hundred linked articles have been recently linked to Social network. I'm wondering if the notifications could be changed so that each individual article linked has a separate, specific notification? Thanks to all who have worked on the notification project. For the most part, it's been a positive addition to WP!"

TL;DR: The editor wants to be able to see ''all'' the pages that were pagelinked, so that they can check all changes and make any required fixes. Bundling makes this impossible.

(See also bug 44787 ("Allow excluding pages from the link notifications"), which would be good to implement at the same time as this one, to offset any problems.)
