On my Wiki - folks read the notification message, including the editors summary line, and decide if they want to open and read the full article (or edit it more). ...in theory. My point is that people may re-read the wiki page only when theres something they want to contribute to. This is why I want to turn on notification for all changes that are on a persons watchlist - and have them manage their watchlist properly. ...looks like I may have to delve into code then ! :-) Jon. -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Platonides Sent: 01 April 2011 23:27 To: mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Email Notification for watchlist changes jidanni(a)jidanni.org wrote: That's an *option*.
