Bug ID: 43728
Summary: "You have x new messages from y users" should not
count minor edits by bots
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.21-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Interface
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When a bot (or anybody else with the nominornewtalk right) edits your talk
page, no "You have new messages" alert will be shown, unless there are also
edits by regular users. But when there are both edits by regular users and
bots, the number of all edits and all users including the bots will be shown in
this message.
E.g. when a user makes two edits to your talk page, followed by one minor bot
edit, you will be informed that
You have 3 new messages by 2 users.
Instead, the bot edit should be ignored (as it would be if you had been online
between the edits of the user and the bot), the alert should say:
You have 2 new messages by 1 user.
