Description Church of emacs 2009-02-24 15:50:44 UTC Created attachment 5861 [details] changes default for watchcreations to true I think most people want watchcreations to be true by default. It's more intuitive. If I create a page, it most certainly interests me and I want to see if my page gets modified. Comment 1 Aaron Schulz 2009-02-24 16:22:41 UTC IMO, pages should be added explicitly, either by clicking "watch" or setting a preference. Having it start off on may seem a bit unexpected. Comment 2 Chad H. 2009-07-30 23:17:43 UTC Marking this WONTFIX per Aaron. Individual wikis can change this if they'd like.
