 It's available, but disabled.

So who would we have to ask to have that extension enabled? At the moment,
I'd have something like watchthatpage look at the pages every now and
then...

[OSM-talk] Can Mediawiki notify by mail?

2008-02-03 Thread Hakan Tandogan
Hi,


I was just adding the template pages I use to my watchlist. Can 
Mediawiki notify me with a mail if a certain (a template or even group 
of templates, like Template:Map_Features_*) changes? I'd rather not 
check my watchlist manually, computers are far better suited for 
automatically providing information to humans ;-)


Regards,
Hakan

As I understand, it's a feature which is included already within the 
MediaWiki, but which does require an activation.

A quick search showed that it is available e.g. as one of the Extensions:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Email_notification

- 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#Email_notification_.28Enotif.29_settings

It's available, but disabled.
