Description Platonides 2009-02-22 22:56:34 UTC
Talk notifications produce double email notifications (confirmed by para, Sudoking and me), or even quadruple (harriv).
Emails have different id but it's the same server producing the multiple output.
Comment 1 Niklas Laxström 2009-02-23 08:51:42 UTC
Confirmed in Wikimedia or in other MediaWiki installations too?
Comment 2 Platonides 2009-02-23 15:19:08 UTC
As happening in WMF setup.

A better improved redundant repeating summary, easier to find in search, I sure couldn't find this bug without being told the number.

Shouldn't the component be changed to Wikimedia if this is just Wikimedia? Can anyone duplicate locally?

Comment 7 Tim Starling 2009-03-17 20:57:18 UTC
I tried it on mediawiki.org and I didn't get a duplicate. How often does this happen? Can someone provide a more detailed case, including diff URL?

On all wiki with watchlist email enabled, with every watchlisted page. 
I got this on Meta for example:

Comment 9 Tim Starling 2009-03-18 00:52:13 UTC
Re comment #8: did the edit summary and username in the email match the history entry?

Comment 10 Tim Starling 2009-03-18 02:37:06 UTC
Fixed in r48505. MediaWiki was sending duplicate emails unconditionally, the problems with reproducing this bug were most likely due to duplicate filtering downstream, causing emails sent in the same second to be merged.
