Bug ID: 49719
Summary: Watch user page and user talk page by default
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Site requests

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The vast majority of users are interested in what edits are made by others to
their user page and user talk page. They should be watching both by default,
which for some reason is not the case now.
I brought this up on the editor engagement mailing list
(http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/ee/2013-June/000488.html) and so far
there is agreement that the sane default is to have users watch their own user
page and user talk page. No one so far has brought up a common case where you
wouldn't want to, especially as a new user.
I would recommend we simply turn this on for all, and I'll commit to making
necessary announcements on the mailing lists, in the new Tech News newsletter,
etc.
