I don't think you can get alerts when articles are added/removed from a category. But you can do similar things. Option 1: Use Dynamic Page List (http://semeb.com/dpldemo/DPL:Manual) to produce a report of pages in a category, sorted by the date they were added, and view that page on demand: <dpl> category = ...name of category here... addfirstcategorydate = true ordermethod = categoryadd order = descending </dpl> Option 2: View the "related changes" page (Special:Recentchangeslinked) for a category as needed. It lists category additions, but not deletions. You can receive this by RSS.

Hi I use the CreateBox extension on my wiki so that some wikitext is automatically inserted into new pages created by users via this extension. This wikitext includes a category label, so that such pages are automatically entered into the category of pages awaiting check by an admin. Does anyone know of a way, direct or indirect, that admins can receive email alerts to such new additions to this category? I've tried 'watching' the category page, but I notice that I do not get an email alert when there is a new addition to the category.
