a bot going through
the article's history, or both.~~~~Pro-Lick
Oh great. Either others get to find out what pages I watch (traditionally
confidential); or I get spam from times I corrected a typo.
I can understand the privacy issue and have no problem dropping watchlists as a potential
source. The "spam", however, is 1) not spam, 2) simply notifying you the
article is up for deletion. I don't think it's too much to ask for contributors
to take a second to read the article title and decide if they care whether or not it's
deleted. The section title could say something like "Article Pokemon Porn is under
deletion review" and the content could simply be a link to the deletion page. If the
bot is set to automatically ignore IPs and minor edits, there's even a way for you to
avoid the notification by marking the typo fixes as minor.~~~~Pro-Lick
