Thanks Kirill, James and all involved. Svetlana, presently we have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiPro… which reports all changes to articles tagged on their talk page as "of interest to WikiProjedt Medicine" (about 33,000 so far). I'd like all our medical articles to have a button at the top saying "email me when this article changes", so interested experts could easily adopt a few articles. (But we're getting a bit off-topic here.) Anthony Cole <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Anthonyhcole> On Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 3:34 PM, svetlana <svetlana(a)fastmail.com.au> wrote:

Could be a good idea for wikiproject folks to work on a RSS feed of recent changes (and recent new page creations) within a category and its subcats. Sounds like a thing that'd increate all our participation in WikiProjects in the first place - and resolve plenty of user retention issues.

This is a grand tool. Though 1) it doesn't filter for new page creations (would it be nice to have a "new page" tag?), and 2) is not as grained as subcats would be (where people would be able to pick a more narrow topic to watch). Anthony Cole wrote:

Yes, this is a watchlist thing, it's already there (interested people can enable email delivery).

Agree with all that, Svetlana - though we don't have a button at the top of articles making it easy for readers to enable email alerts. 99.999% of readers wouldn't know it was available. (This is something BLP subjects would appreciate too, I'm sure.)

It's possible to do this with a single-purpose account and "Email me when a page or file on my watchlist is changed" (which was re-enabled on enwiki a few years back). Not the most straightforward process, but it's there; you could do it with a regular account, but you'd get swamped fast! A better solution would be some kind of "prioritised watchlist", which has been proposed a few times but I'm not sure if anyone's ever worked on it. Andrew.
