Bug #: 38874
Summary: Bot edits don't trigger email notifications
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Email
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When a bot edits a page on your watchlist, and your preferences are configured
to send you an email notification on new edits to watchlisted pages (and
assuming the wiki is configured to do so), it usually doesn't result in an edit
notification (every once in a while it does, but I haven't been able to find
any sort of common element to these cases, so I don't know what causes it).
This wouldn't be a problem, except that if an edit notification isn't emailed
for that edit, it also never gets sent for any subsequent edit to that page,
meaning that if you don't use your watchlist to keep up with edits to a wiki,
you can miss subsequent changes to that page for an indefinite period of time.
I've observed this across several wikis on Wikia as well as on the Minecraft
Wiki (http://minecraftwiki.net), and across multiple versions of MediaWiki.
