Description

Before merging, this should have a $wgEchoUserPageEditNotification variable to enable it, defaulted false (like $wgEchoMentionStatusNotifications). This lets us control when it goes to production.

Also, fill out the form at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T168385#3439975 , and let product review, before merge.

I _have_ implemented this feature; it comes as a (positive) side-effect within the ENotif version see T2454 (pls. add you e-mail address to the CC of T2454, if you want to receive news about this.

The flag is shown, as long as not-yet-seen changes on both the user_talk or user page are pending. This is currently implemented as configurable feature depending on value of $wgShowNewtalkForUserOrUserTalkPage (true, false).

I think that should also work for subpages.

Fresh request for this feature from a Slovenian-language editor, at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Tlgxli72jrmajwpw and specifically mentioning subpages.

I miss notifications if someone edited my user page or subpage.

@JoHammer: I am resetting the assignee of this task because there has not been progress lately (please correct me if I am wrong!). Resetting the assignee avoids the impression that somebody is already working on this task. It also allows others to potentially work towards fixing this task. Please claim this task again when you plan to work on it (via Add Action... → Assign / Claim in the dropdown menu) - it would be welcome. Thanks for your understanding!

This was #2 on the 2022 survey: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2022/Anti-harassment/Notifications_for_user_page_edits and adding a new notification is actually pretty straightforward, so I'll give this a shot.

A few people asked for subpages too, I think we should start with the root user page only and see what people think (if you think user subpages would be useful, please speak up). The notification will be bundled, like talk pages, so if 2 people edit it quickly, the notification will say "2 people edited your user page" rather than getting 2 notifications. And we can keep the same logic as talk page notifications, if a bot edits it as minor, then it'll be ignored.

I'd prefer subpages be included, but if it's only the root page for now that's still a solid addition IMO.

I'd prefer subpages be included as well. If someone edits one of my user subpages, whether intentionally (spam, harassment, etc.) or accidentally (such as leaving a talk page message in the wrong place), I'd like to know about it so I can clean things up (remove the spam or move the message to my talk page).

I'm okay with it just being root pages, but I'd prefer it include subpages. Would it be possible to make it an option? (No notification/ notification for root pages/ notification for root and subpages)

Subpages included will be great if it is possible to let user exclude some pages, as some subpages are designed to be edited by others (so we have template unlocked userpage). For a page with this template, user should not be notified if someone edit their pages.

Thanks for taking this on!

And we can keep the same logic as talk page notifications, if a bot edits it as minor, then it'll be ignored.

I personally agree and think we should start with just the base userpages. Many people construct drafts and collaborate on subpages, and they'll probably want a way to turn that off but still keep notifications for the base userpage.

Community-Tech will be around to help with code review, user coordination, etc., as needed :)

That patch is from 2017. It's probably best to abandon it at this point as I'm sure so much has changed in that time. My understanding from T3876#7723340 was that @Legoktm was going to re-implement this from scratch.

Sorry about the lack of updates, I both underestimated how much was needed to do this and overestimated my free time. I think I have about 75% done locally, I'll push whatever I have by midweek.
