 Welcome to Wikipedia for beginners. In this video we'll look at notifications. If you've recently started using Wikipedia you may not know there are notifications, so let's take a look at this feature. First, make sure you're logged in. At the top right hand corner of Wikipedia you should see your username. If you aren't logged in, you'll see a link to login or create an account. Next to your username are four icons. The first icon is a bell, clicking on the bell shows you alerts. This is to let you know someone has left a message on your talk page or perhaps they tagged you in a comment. Your alerts icon might have a series of numbers which tell you how many alerts you have. To clear these one by one, click the blue circle on the alert like this, or just click mark all as red at the top. Next, there's a square icon for notices. These are separate messages, like if someone has thanked you for an edit you made on a Wikipedia article or a draft article you were working on has been reviewed. You can clear these in the same way as the alerts. Clicking all notifications takes you to a page with all the alerts and notices together. If you'd rather not get so many notifications, you can click the preferences button and then select or unselect the type of notifications you want or don't want. Clicking the information icon next to each one gives you an explanation of what they are for and then click save.
