That doesn't mean no one else can either. :-) True. But as it is you who are arguing the case for inclusion, I would have thought that you would have been able to provide at least one such example! > > The two use-cases I can see for this feature are: > > > > 1) Admin users, who want to see all edits made to the wiki.

Perhaps if you explained your use-case (and, perhaps, why the workaround in comment 5 is insufficient) then you might have a chance of convincing others of that there was some basis to your request. > > If you can come up with a use case then I'm happy for someone to modify the > > setting to allow for both scenarios, but if only one scenario is supported > > then > > skipping the person who made the edit is definitely the most sensible > > approach. > > The most sensible approach is always, in my opinion, that of least surprise. > A variable named "users notified of ALL changes" should either do what its > name > says it does or be renamed (to $wgUsersNotifiedOnEveryoneElsesChanges, > perhaps). > If you are arguing that the variable should be renamed, then please log a new bug for that. I expect, for backwards-compatibility reasons, it will be closed as WONTFIX, but no harm trying. It won't be me who decides, and I don't have a strong opinion on this. > The optimal solution may be to have a per-user setting for "notify me of my > own > edits" and allow both watchlists and $wgUsersNotifiedOnAllChanges to respect > this setting. I think there is a case for two new UI settings: * E-mail me about changes to all pages (not just my watchlist) * E-mail me about every single change (not just the first) In either case, you should not be e-mailed your own changes, and it would need to be something that could be enabled/disabled for the wiki via a config setting (you wouldn't want it enabled on something the size of Wikipedia, for example!). However, this is also something that should be logged as a new bug (if it hasn't been already). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
