Description

Goal: Combine T278190: Introduce Watchlist Expiry Functionality within Discussion Tools and T295090: When I use MassMessage's bot to post a comment, let me auto-subscribe so that I can subscribe to announcements, but not forever.

User story: As a person who sends urgent announcements about upcoming events, I want to send (via MassMessage) and auto-subscribe to hundreds of messages across many wikis. However, when the event is over, I no longer want to have these discussions in my list.

Is it really worth the effort? Usually such announcements generate little to no activity (replies), and even when there’s some activity, it’s mostly shortly after the announcement is made, i.e. when the announcer is still subscribed.
