--- Comment #11 from Sage Ross <[email protected]> --- @Nemo: The intent behind this bug in general, and the latest patch in particular, is to use Notifications (ie, Echo) to highlight particularly relevant wiki activity for people using the course page system. In the case of the latest patch, if a student has signed up on a course page to work on a specific article, then they will want to be aware of any changes to that article. While watchlists and enotif have some similar functionality, the watchlist is a tool that is not often used by students, and if a user does not have enotif enabled, they will not see any activity unless they actively visit their watchlist. Using Notifications instead, the relevant activity will be 'pushed' to them whenever they visit any page on Wikipedia. @Quiddity: Per Andrew, two notification types are live, one hopefully is coming soon. Another (course mentions) may be on the agenda soon. I guess this is more of a tracking bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
