I admin a small wiki and want to be notified when a new page is created. Is there a 'watch_all_pages' setting somewhere? Or a 'something_has_changed' setting?
Thanks,

You could use the RSS feed from [[Special:Newpages]] (if you have feeds enabled on your wiki, that is).
That's an idea, but since I want to be notified via email, I'll have to install something like rss2email. NBD, but not as nice as being able to check a box in 'preferences.'

Yeah, thought so - I'm afraid I don't know what could be done about this though. If you do find a solution, please let us know!

nice idea :-)
hm, how to enable RSS-Feeds? Or: How to get the rss-xml-Feed-URL?
I didnt found "rss-enable" in localsettings.php or defaulsettings.php.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure about this myself.
On the wiki I'm looking at right now (which I sort of inherited, so I didn't set it up myself), there are RSS and ATOM links on various special pages (e.g. [[Special:Recentchanges]] and [[Special:Newpages]]).
So maybe it's part of the standard setup (at least in v1.10)!?

I'm pretty sure the RSS and Atom feeds for Special:Recentchanges are "on" by default (I've never had to "enable" them).

Whats the URL of a recent-cahnges-rss-feed ?
For example, when the wiki-url would be http://www.domain.com/wiki/Main_Page ... ?

Ohh ... forget it ... I seem to be blind ;)
Its under "Tools" (Werkzeuge) in left Sidebar *oups*

How does one read an RSS feed ? Does an email client take care of that business, a WEB browser, or a special client ?

Use Apple's Safari web browser, it makes RSS real easy! (ducks to get out of way of flame war)

There are several ways!
e.g., you can use a feed in an email-client like Thunderbird. This will notify you for every new message in the feed, really similar to emails.
There are several other clients for RSS, e.g. SharpReader.

I installed rss2email. As the name implies, it grabs RSS pages and emails them to whatever mailbox you choose.

All three, depending upon the software.
RSS is just a simple, machine-readable format based more or less on XML, and there are a variety of clients which can convert this information into a more human-readable form.
For example, Mozilla Thunderbird, and a number of email clients, can subscribe to RSS feeds. A large number of browsers, including things like Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox can handle RSS feeds - Firefox refers to these as "live bookmarks". And there are dedicated RSS clients.
Of course, RSS feeds can be read back into web applications and used server-side, and there are RSS aggregation extensions for MediaWiki.
