 * 1) They already have this. If you are in a private chat a bubble with the count of new posts in the public chat will show. Similarly, a bubble with the count of new posts in a private chat will show if you are in a different private chat or the public chat. As for the sounds, ChatHacks offers pings for when another user mentions your username. This function is supposedly available for a customization list of phrases but I am not sure on how it works since I have never used it and the documentation page is extremely short on details. I am not sure if it is independent of or using Pings. There is also BlinkingTabAlert.
 * 2) Emoji icon codes are set by the wiki. If there are issues with icon codes, it needs to be fixed by wiki admins.
 * 3) There are plenty of other discussion features that keep a record of the conversation, why is this needed for chat? Chat is designed for casual conversation. If you are discussing something you will want to refer back to later, consider using a different discussion feature.
 * 4) There are a lot of other scripts available that I have not mentioned. The ones I mentioned are just examples. There may be more that have similar, enhanced, or simplified features compared to the examples I used. To see what is probably a comprehensive list, go here. In addition, individual wikis are free to implement custom scripts of their own design.
