Agora/7 November 2015
Email notification
I just registered an account at ChildWiki. I notice an option for my email there to receive notifications that I don't find here on BoyWiki:
- Email me when a page or file on my watchlist is changed
- Email me when my user talk page is changed
- Email me also for minor edits of pages and files
- Email me when I make a change to a page on the wiki
Is this functionality available also here, and if so, how can I enable these options? I don't see any of these in my Preferences menu.
Did I get those options perhaps because I was immediately made an administrator over there? __meco (talk) 19:33, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- As far as I know, it is not an option we have. --Etenne (talk) 20:46, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Do you use an older version of the MediaWiki software, perhaps? __meco (talk) 20:49, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- No, likely that function is an extension or it was turned off during the set up of BoyWiki because the tech. person thought it was a security risk. Lysander would likely know --Etenne (talk) 20:56, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- The newer versions of MediaWiki are set up by default to allow these notifications. See mediawikiwiki:MediaWiki_1.23#Notifications and mediawikiwiki:Manual:Configuration_settings#Email_notification_.28Enotif.29_settings. Special:Version says that BoyWiki uses MediaWiki 1.24, so we should have that capability. I agree that email notifications are more convenient than checking watchlists on several different wikis.
