Extension:WhoIsWatching

Description
Even though this notion goes against privacy policy, some wikis may actually like to see which of its users are watching particular pages. This extension provides just such an interface.

Step 1
Download the extension code from SVN and place each file in extensions/WhoIsWatching folder.

Step 2
Add the following text to your LocalSettings.php

Step 3
Edit your MediaWiki:Number_of_watching_users_pageview wiki page to have the following content: [ $1] watching NaN userss

Future Improvements

 * Add a way to sign other users up to watch a particular page. When they are signed up, send them an email indicating so. This feature should be optionally turned off.
