--- Comment #8 from Krinkle <[email protected]> --- Watchlist settings contain: * When and how something is automatically added to your Watchlist. * What and how things are displayed on Special:Watchlist. * Authentication token for the Watchist data. None of these affect notifications. And while you may get e-mails from pages changes on your Watchlist, or Echo notifications (if installed), the association seems arbitrary. Besides, the setting for something being added to your Watchlist doesn't relate other people's edits being made. It relates to the default value of the "Watch this page" checkbox on pages you edit yourself. It still allows the user to opt-out. There could be any number of preferences that influence default settings of the edit environment in general. And while edits can generate notifications, it'd imho be confusing to store them under notifications.

So we'd update Echo to extend the built-in notifications section instead of adding a new one for Echo. -- 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
