--- Comment #8 from Erik Moeller <[email protected]> 2012-06-12 17:22:21 UTC --- Yes, on closer inspection, I'm not seeing the need for even an additional preference. The existing watchlist preference for watching created pages already operates in this manner. It would be useful to update the message text in core to clarify that it refers to files as well, not just pages. I'm seeing now that this option is specifically disabled for Commons and enabled everywhere else: if( $wgDBname != 'commonswiki' ) { $wgDefaultUserOptions['watchcreations'] = 1; } http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/CommonSettings.php.txt So at some point someone seems to have decided that flooding the watchlist of every user with every uploaded file would be too spammy. This request would effectively accomplish the opposite. We should make sure there's consensus to do so before we change it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
