Description:
We use MediaWiki 1.4.5 + Enotif 2.0.0, but I think the problem remains ( I look
though CVS 1.5 codes).

Consider the following scenario:

1. We have non-empty article "TheArticle".
2. Alice watched "TheArticle".
3. Bob opens "TheArticle" for editing, set "watch this page" checkbox, made no

changes, but press "Save article" button.

4. Alice receive notification like "Bob edited TheArticle. _This is new page_".
5. Alice fear that Bob "clear or recreate" "TheArticle".

I think the problem is UserMailer.php/composeCommonMailtext:
in lines: (lastest UserMailer.php from CVS contains similar lines...)

if ($article->mOldid) {
    $body = str_replace('$NEWPAGE', wfMsg(

'email_notification_lastvisitedrevisiontext' ), $body);

    .....
} else {
    $body = str_replace('$NEWPAGE', wfMsg( 'email_notification_newpagetext'

), $body );

    .....
}

that is if "oldid" is not set, the software sends notification about "New page".
But "oldid" is not set the no changes made also...
