Get notification when category gets a new member?

It appears that subscribing to changes on a categories' page doesn't notify you when new pages are added to the category, this feature would be very useful.

Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how?

Thank you for your feedback!

At the moment, it is not possible to get a notification when a page has been added to a category.

Getting a notification, or a watchlist entry, when a page is added to a category, is something requested time to time. Overall, this is covered by the need to have better tracking options for categories.

The need of a tracking option has been suggested as a feature request during the last Community wishlist survey. But I'm afraid that this suggestion is far from being the most wanted feature.

Notifications aren't on a feature improvement list for now, so I'm afraid that you may have to wait until new plans are made for Notifications. Sorry. :(
