Yeah, we should write some. Thanks for filing that.

Counter-intuitively, not enabling that setting doesn't make the feature
available to everyone, it makes it completely unavailable. To enable it for
everyone, you need $wgDefaultUserOptions['echo-cross-wiki-notifications'] =
true; .

Also, after creating the database table, you should populate it by running
extensions/Echo/maintenance/backfillUnreadWikis.php on every wiki. If you
don't do that, the feature will work, but notifications that were received
before the feature was enabled won't be taken into account.
