I'm the sysop of a small MediaWiki site (ghanawiki.info), and I'd like to receive an email notification of any page edit. (A daily digest is fine.)
Looking at my preferences page, I see that "Email me on page changes" is enabled, but that's not happening. There was an edit by an anonymous user a couple weeks ago, but I never got an email about it.
I don't think I ever configured an SMTP server for use by this wiki; does that need to be done first, and if so, how? I tried to find some documentation on this but didn't have much luck.
Thanks,
Trevor

The last time I looked at it, you only get notification when pages on your watchlist are edited, and there's no way to automatically add pages to your watchlist.
I'd like a similar function, I've got a wiki where I'm pretty much, but now quite the sole contributor except for spammers. It's not updated frequently but I'd really like to know if it is, so that I can check to see if something got past the spam trap, or to marvel at the fact that someone made a valid contribution.
When I brought this up some time ago, the only advice I got was to use the rss feed to monitor it, but I'm really looking for a completely passive solution which would dump the notification in my mail which is my main locus of attention.

I'm in exactly the same situation!

That would work for me. How do I set that up? The documentation indicates that MediaWiki provides RSS for Special:RecentChanges and Special:Newpages, but I can't find any feeds for them.

Oops, never mind! The feed links are right there on the page in the toolbox.
