email notification for new pages
see screenshot
 * as usual, a global sysop option $wgEmailNotificationForNewPages and a user preference toggle option (if the global setting say so)


 * this option should perhaps be restricted to special users having a user_right user_may_get_enotiffornewpages see 840

Auto-watch new pages: new pages are automatically added to users' watchlists
see screenshot above
 * as usual, a global sysop option $wgAutoWatchNewPages and a user preference toggle option (if the global setting says so)


 * this option should perhaps be restricted to special users having a user_right user_may_autowatchnewpages see 840

user preferences: suppress realname help, if realname is disabled

 * If the feature realname is disabled by the Sysop, the help text for the realname entry field (which is not shown then) is also suppressed.
 * Listed as 822 (solved/closed)

number of watching users is also shown on the watchlist

 * Version 1.34 showed the number only on page article and recent changes view) Thanks, User:Fantasy for this contribution.

enotif v1.34
A bug regarding $oldid has been fixed, which prohibited to generate correct (diff-to-last-visited-version) links in the enotif mails.

All Enotif options became options in user preferences
As mentioned elsewhere, the display of these user options can be suppressed case by case by disabling the corresponding Admin settings in DefaultSettings.php (or LocalSettings.php).

see screenshot

Number of watching users shown in the recent changes view and page article footers
Also listed as 727.

Recent changes view and page article footers in classic skin and monobook skin show the number of watching users. See the following screenshot and notice the [3] indicating that three users have currently the Main_page in their watchlists.

A new message page MediaWiki:number_of_watching_users is introduced, which is preset with '($1 watching user/s)' in module Language.php during fresh or upgrade installations. '$1' is replaced with the number of watching users and the text is only shown, if the number is > 0.

Recent Changes view: UseMod style
(For a discussion, if this is useful or useless, please follow 756 . I like it.)

see screenshot: only the most recent change of a page is shown. This feature can be globally disabled by Admin setting $wgRCUseModStyle = false, or if globally enabled, the users see a third recent changes view option in users preferences (standard, enhanced, UseMod style). UseMod style and enhanced view can be used together to suppressed older revisions of a page which were shown otherwise on past days.

Page History view shows updated marker only for not-yet seen versions
see screenshot

"updated" marker marks all versions instead only the non visited version of watched pages
Enotif v1.21 now suppresses displaying the marker  updated (since my last visit) in recent changes view for the older i.e. already visited versions of watched pages - i.e. page versions before the enotif was sent do not bear that marker any longer.

Number of watching users shown in the recent changes view
Also listed as 727.
