Talk:Requests for comment/Watch Categorylinks

This seems slightly to be mixing watchlist and notices ui. If a user watches a category, shouldnt they find out about removals and additions in the watchlist, not in echo?

Do you plan to support showing who added/removed the category (i think thats impossible to do, at least in all cases, and i dont think it should be a requirement, but if you have a solution for that, that would be awesome). Bawolff (talk) 16:24, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Bawolff, since a WikiPage object is passed to the event handler, determining and displaying the corresponding author shouldn't be a problem. We need to make sure to keep the notification simple and respect the recommendation of having not more than two links in the notification (see: Echo_(Notifications)/Developer_guide).

 * not all category change events are directly associated with an edit. Bawolff (talk) 13:22, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Pro But please make sure the default setting (notification via Web/Mail on/off) can be configured so that if a comunity wants to change it, it can be done without editing in the source-code. -- MichaelSchoenitzer (talk) 11:09, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Since it sounds like this will be an Echo notification, that would be a simple case of altering your $wgDefaultUserOptions. -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 11:16, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
