Wotheina added a comment to T350535: Watchlist e-mails for deleted pages contain non-working links.

Just a reminder that the problem is still present. An e-mail sent out from "Wiktionary" <wiki@wikimedia.org> yesterday:

The Wiktionary page айморт has been deleted on 2024-01-18 by

links to a wrong URL with the period added.
I checked my e-mail client and confirrmed that if the URL is bracketed before a period, it will work correctly without such errors.

Extracting the archived date from archived pages on WARP is tricky because the data is embedded into the page, and its format depends on the language you choose on their home page https://warp.da.ndl.go.jp/

Wotheina added a comment to T40874: Minor bot edits don't trigger email notifications even with "E-mail me also for minor edits of pages" selected.

Just a reminder that this is still a trouble (at least in Wikipedias). Also, the title is mis-leading and hard to locate. Minor edits are not the issue, the issue is about the major edits. From a user's point of view, It should be better worded like "e-mail notifications of major edits permanently blocked/disabled by a bot edit".
An e-mail notification system that fails to notify many (perhaps majority of) major-edits is, ... a gross malfunction.
