The subscription seems to get lost if the (discussion) page ist moved.

That should not happen; the tracking of subscriptions is based on the author and date/time of the first comment, and not on the page or section title. Can you link to an example?

Thanks.

But I don't understand why this ist not listed in .

Apparently, the move log only shows the entry when you search for the old title – in this case, it's shown under Diskussion:Weißrussland: . I found this old bug report about that behavior: T66184.

The subscription was moved from Diskussion:Weißrussland to w:de:Diskussion:Belarus#Änderung_der_Aussprache_von_stimmlosem_zu_stimmhaftem_„s“

I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but – there haven't been any comments in that section since October, so you wouldn't get any notifications anyway – so are you sure that your subscription was lost?

If you look at the section there, is there an "[abbestellen]" button (unsubscribe), or an "[abonnieren]" button (subscribe)?

Maybe it's confusing if you looked at Spezial:TopicSubscriptions. That interface will always display the original page title and topic title, even if they're changed (because we don't have a good way to track and display this there), but regardless of that, you should receive notifications if you're subscribed to the topic. Maybe we should file a bug about this.

You are right, I noticed it at the Spezial:TopicSubscriptions as a red link.Yet changing to the moved page the topic wasn't subscribed any more. At least it was noticed as to be made "[abonnieren]".

Are you sure you didn't unsubscribe on the TopicSubscriptions page? I don't know how else this could happen.

My English is rather poor. What does „good spot“ mean?

PPelberg (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Ah, I'm sorry about that, @Peter Gröbner. I was using "good spot" to mean "good observation" ^ _ ^
