Recently I started receiving messages about the failed delivery of
notifications about page changes to email addresses/users that no longer exist (alumni).
Is there a way to edit the list of watchers for a page and remove the
email address?
Or to clear the complete watchlist of a certain user (the ldap account no
longer exists)?
I do not want to remove (e.g. with merge&delete) the user account, as
we'd like to keep track of who originally created/edited page content, even if that person is no longer part of our staff.
I would think keeping their watchlist intact may be useful should they ever return. I would either disable mail entirely for those users or disable watchlist notifs.
I don't know how offhand; maybe you'd have to use eval.php or maybe there's an existing maint script. Hopefully someone else will chime in.
