 When people comment on Trac tickets, finding how to edit notifications
 they receive can be difficult.

 1. The
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress.org/blob/98fe15b26f7c41a06fbaf77fb72ce518f896a248/trac.wordpress.org/templates/site.html#L282
 "Trac UI Preferences" link] is in the footer. I would not consider
 notifications as part of the UI, and these preferences are specific to
 each Trac. I suggest editing the link text to fit each Trac:\\
    {{{<a class="preferences-link" href="${href.prefs()}">[Meta] Trac
 Preferences</a>}}} \\\\
 2. When you arrive at the General tab, it talks about
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress.org/blob/98fe15b26f7c41a06fbaf77fb72ce518f896a248/trac.wordpress.org/templates/site.html#L297
 configuring notifications], but that link goes to the page to sign up for
 emails about tickets by component, milestone, focus, etc. Replacing the
 sentence and the generic "here" link text could help clarify that link's
 purpose:\\\\
   > To configure notifications about tickets that might interest you,
 [https://make.wordpress.org/meta/notifications/ choose components to
 follow].
   \\
 3. The General tab could include a new sentence about activity
 notifications:\\
    {{{To change when you receive updates on your tickets, <a
 href="/prefs/notification">adjust notifications about ticket
 activity</a>.}}}
