I am little annoyed by the way some wikias use their notifications. Specifically when I am hit with 40 unread notifications.
 * 1) Is there any way to customize what notification I want to receive, or I should keep hitting the 'mark all as read' ?
 * 2) How do I make notifications? I noticed most are highlighted post, how do I Highlight topics and is there anyway to set expiration period ?
