Thanks for the reminder. However, I think that not all those settings are not necessarily good, and here's why:
* (bug 45020) Make preferences "Add pages I create and files I upload to my watchlist" and "pages and files I edit" true by default. This seems to be the default on Wikia, which I have also used, but not everyone wants to do thus. I personally only like to use a watchlist to keep track of select pages instead of every page I edit, so I find this default irritating. * (bug 45022) Make preference "Email me when a page or file on my watchlist is changed" true by default. This is a good idea. * (bug 49719) Watch user page and user talk page by default. This will allow your new users to immediately start benefiting from the watchlist and email notification features, without needing to first read all the docs to find out that they're as useful as they are. This is a good idea. In short, the first setting strikes me as bad, but I think the other two are good ideas. > Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 13:22:26 +0000 > From: jer...@tuxmachine.com > To: wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org > Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] Preventing MW from adding a page to watchlist > > On Jun 10, 2014 9:18 AM, "MZMcBride" <z...@mzmcbride.com> wrote: > > And > > sysadmins of larger wiki installations probably want to re-visit whether > > the user preferences defaults are appropriate for their communities. > > They also may wan to consider reading the release announcement emails… > (e.g. > http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2014-June/000152.html > ) > > -Jeremy > _______________________________________________ > Wikitech-l mailing list > Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
