Does this functionality exist in MediaWiki currently? If so, is there some sample code you can provide to accomplish this? If not, this bug should be switched to a MediaWiki bug to implement this functionality. In MediaWiki, watching a subject-space page unconditionally watches the talk page and watching a talk page unconditionally watches the subject-space page). They're linked. New users don't watch either page by default, but the root user talk page is special in that most edits to it will trigger a notification (the new messages bar). This is distinct from the watchlist (the new messages bar is tracked by the user_newtalk database table). As far as I know, there's no way to set a user to automatically watch his or her user/user talk pages, though I may be mistaken. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
