Bug #: 36316
Summary: Set "Add pages I edit to my watchlist" to true by
default
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Site requests
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
That is, add to common settings:
$wgDefaultUserOptions['watchdefault'] = 1;
At least on Wikimedia projects, I think it makes sense to assume that a new
user who registers and edits a page wants to follow subsequent edits to that
page, rather than to create a bunch of new pages and follow only those: most of
our new users make only an edit o two. If the user knows how the watchlist
works and don't want it, they'll just uncheck the box when editing, but as it
is they'll most likely lose sight of any following edit.
This will be particularly useful when bug 28026 is completely fixed.
