OTRS notifications to closed accounts
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

My otrswiki: account has been closed for some time now, but for some reason I still get watchlist notifications when a page on my otrswiki: watchlist is changed. This should not happen because

  • closed accounts do not have access to view the pages being changed and so should not receive automated information about their content
  • closed accounts cannot access Special:Preferences to unsubscribe from notifications.

This was about OTRS-wiki and not OTRS, so not valid anyway. It's also a known issue with MediaWiki. I'll see what we can do about your case.

@Krenair: Is this bug fixed (with some workaround) for OTRSwiki?

Nothing special is happening with otrs_wikiwiki - all I did here was invalidate one person's email settings, the actual software fix is still T54453
