Every time so far that I've started a new thread on a page I don't watchlist, I've wanted to subscribe to it. It'd be nice if there were an option that did this automatically to save me the click/take care of it so I don't forget.
Topic on Talk:Talk pages project/Notifications/Flow
This option already exists, though it hasn't been announced. See the last item in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion
I find that it usually works for my work account (which I use in Chrome or Safari) but not for my volunteer account (in Firefox). Also, it's doesn't pay any attention to whether the page is already on your watchlist, and it may be restricted to edits made using DiscussionTools (e.g., when you [reply], but not when you [edit source]).
I found some problem here - I edited section, I have there notice [Subscribed], but in my preferences was this option disabled (And I haven't change this option in last months)
Do I have this correct?
- The preference for automatic subscriptions is disabled in your account
- When you create a new section, you get subscribed to it anyway
- If anyone replies, you get a message in Special:Notifications
Is that right?
