This one (although if it's in core, it probably doesn't need to use a hook). I agree with Steven, there's no reason to prevent people from unwatching them. > You'd also need a maintenance script to update existing users. I also agree I'm not sure this is both worth it and a good idea. I certainly wouldn't want it to run on accounts that have been editing for years (by now, they know what a watchlist is, and could certainly have watched their user page if they wanted to). It might be worth doing on recent accounts. > Should this feature apply to all MediaWiki wikis or just Wikimedia wikis? All MW, in my opinion. There's nothing WMF- or Wikipedia- specific about this use case. We could gate it with Yet Another wg, but if so I think it should be defaulted to true in core. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
