hi list,
i've mediawiki configuration question, is there any option that enables something like a watch all articles for all users? maybe in the LocalSettings.php?
i'd like to have that any page is watched for better collaboration in a small usergroup.
thanks in advance!
cheers, gregor

You might consider integrating RSS feeds into your workflow; an RSS feed for Special:Recentchanges and for Special:Newpages is available built-in.

Hi brion
Thanx a lot for the quick response.
I thought about putting something like this in the localsettings, only that i am really no php hacker:
for ( u in alluser) { for (p in allpages) watch(u,p) }
might be a performancekiller, but would it work?
cheers, gregor

It would probably not be a good idea, since it'd effectively make everyone watch the page every time you loaded a new page.
See attachment for some food for thought. Not sure how wise an idea it is in the main distribution, though. :)
To enable that feature, add to LocalSettings.php the following line (after modifying the includes/UserMailer.php file -- I can send that file to you if you are confused by the diff): $wgNotifyEveryone = true;
-Kalle.
p.s. Untested code, so chances are it doesn't work. I'd test it, but I don't want to enable that feature for my unsuspecting users, and I don't have an experiment wiki set up right now -- but if it doesn't work, let me know. It's about time I get to work on that anyway. d.s.
I agree with Brion - just use the already available RSS feed from RecentChanges. I admin some wikis and I want to see all changes and new pages - drop dead simple with the RSS feed.

thanks for all the answers... i know the rss feed, but i can't force anyone in the workgroup to use ist.
by the way: this was not an RFE for the main distribution, thus it does'nt make senese for the most wikis...
cheers, gregor
