I'm trying to test all types of notifications (each uses its own icon, etc.) in my app. | |

The only reason the route exists is so that applications which always append site don't get an error trying to invoke the network-based /inbox, which rejects that parameter. Laziness is literally the only purpose for this route, and people should always use /inbox.

This is a network route that is improperly treated as a site-specific route for no good reason that I can see (inbox is network-wide). Especially since we have /me routes in both categories. ... Also, the /me routes that take site need to document why in cases like this. The only helpful clues are not on the applicable doc page.

Those are network routes, though. This exists explicitly as a site-specific route that duplicates /inbox's functionality. I don't think there's a good reason for the route to exist in the first place, but the behaviour is at least intentional.

The more I look into this, the more it seems it's a bug. and other /me/* routes do not require a site parameter. (/me/associated and /me/merges, for example)
