emailing watched page notifications
You can configure the job queue to run by cron (more efficient), but the default config will send the mails on something like 1 out of every 10 requests, which is good enough for most smaller wikis.
Some things to check with watchlist emails:
- Make sure you have the relevant preferences checked in special:preferences. (The option in LocalSettings enables the preference, you have to also check the preference)
- You will only get emails about changes made by users who are not you.
- You will only get emails if you have "viewed" the page since the last mail about the page was sent. To make sure that all pages on viewed just go to your watchlist and click on any of the bolded pages.
$wgUsersNotifedOnAllChanges isn't working for you because the config variable changed names to $wgUsersNotifiedOnAllChanges (extra i). It used to be notif-ed since the system is called enotif, but then someone decided it was a spelling mistake and changed it to notified a long time ago.
Ah, the missing i seems to have fixed things. I received my first notification finally! I'll have one of the other users(non AllChanges) try the Watch feature. Thanks much! BTW, Those steps would be very helpful to include in the online documentation.
It actually never occurred to me that the original spelling might not have been an error (in my defense, it apparently didn't occur to anybody else either). Clearly Tim was too clever for his own good.
