This is my idea for the logo for the successful mention. Please let me know if you would like something else.
Also I wasn't sure if it makes sense to mention the talk page or article in the text or if it can just sit in the lower part. I also didn't see the need for expandable boxes or am I missing a scenario where they would be necessary.
For the bottom mentions: I seem to recall seeing it being arranged like then when multiple users are being mentioned, but couldn't find an example of it anymore. Would the "two others" then be clickable?
Cool, thanks! If we have the link called like the page down at the bottom, I personally don't see any reason why we should repeat it in the long text as well.
I can't see an example for expandable notifications either, since we decided to split failed mention notifications from successful mention notifications.
In the very first draft I made, "2 others "were clickable to see who were the two others. But I don't know if that is common practice for notifications. @Pginer-WMF do you have an opinion about that?
Maybe that's where I saw it then. Either way we would need to come up with a away to display this when there are more than two or three successful mentions. If the "two others" click-able thing does not work we'd have to maybe also do the expandable group thing, like in the failure notifications.
I think https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Legoktm/pings may be related here.
Basically the current mentions/pings system is shaky. I'm not sure building notifications on top of it is the best approach to resolve the underlying issue(s) that users are having.
Hmmm, so this page is mentioned over at T139962: When saving, be informed about mentions you sent (#9).
Change 300856 had a related patch set uploaded (by WMDE-Fisch):
Echo notifications for successful mentions
After a quick talk to @Lea_WMDE I verified, that we want mention success notifications for every successful mention ( although they will show up bundled in the presentation )
I will change the patch accordingly.

Why is this an alert and no message? A successful mention doesn't seem urgent at all.
