I wonder if it's worth to keep there VE news, because most of editors who read Tech news in ukwiki afaik use wikitext editing =) This doesn't seem to be crucial. *Vira Motorko* Help save natural resources – please think twice before printing this e-mail or any attachments. 2014-05-31 10:14 GMT+03:00 Philippe Verdy <[email protected]>: > You're right, most users don't have access to this hidden Special:Page (I > don't know why it is for admins only, ). > > So this should be changed into > > "Users with Admnistrator right can now add pages to their watchlist > <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Watchlist> directly on > Special:UnwatchedPages > <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UnwatchedPages>, without having > to leave the page." > > I wonder if i'ts worth to keep it in Tech/News only for about several > hundreds admins (all wikis) or just a few ones (most wikis), that don't > care much about these news, and in fact monitor edits on wikis with more > global tools, and specific reporting bots that don't need MediaWiki to > watch/unwatch large lists of pages. > > However there's still a need for all users to help them manage their watch > list > > My own list have more thousands pages : I don't monitor individual changes > but I use the watchlist to help consult the history, or because MediaWiki > will notify me online on each wiki; I don't want to receive email > notifications though, because there are really too many and this would spam > my mailbox with hundreds of changes each day... in the last couple days I > have received more than 2000 notifications (sic!!!!) by mail ***only from > Meta*** and this continues — of course I won't pass hours checking all of > them as I cannot be as fast as this volume : most of these notifications > coming from the FuzzyBot when pages are moved but also each time review a > translated page and just click on the approve button without changing > anything... > > Notifications about watched pages need to be reworked and they should also > be grouped to avoid sending one mail per notification notably in FuzzyBot > when a translated page with many units is moved as this sends several > hundreds of emails.
