Summary: Links in enotif change notification email should clear
wl_notificationtimestamp
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Email
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Often I will get an email notification and happen to be logged out when I click
the link. I don't get notified of further changes unless and until I visit that
page again when logged in. This has caught me out several times.
I think the visiting and diff links in the email should contain a cookie
(based, perhaps, on their user ID - I think bot rollback uses something
similar) that identifies the user and clears their wl_notificationtimestamp for
that page, even if the user is not logged in.
It would be inappropriate to log a user in automatically, but just clearing the
flag should not hurt. The worst that will happen is they get sent more email
when further changes are made, and this is probably what they want.
