I recently was added to the Coder group on mediawiki.org (username: tbleher). http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Log/rights correctly says 15:42, 23 January 2011 Reedy (Talk | contribs) changed group membership for User:Tbleher from (none) to Coders (Has commit access) RecentChanges shows the same line. The email notification I received was however entirely different: Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2011 15:45:17 +0000 From: WikiAdmin <wiki@wikimedia.org> Subject: MediaWiki page User:Tbleher has been created by Reedy To: Tbleher <ThomasBleher@gmx.de> Reply-To: reply@not.possible Dear Tbleher, the MediaWiki page User:Tbleher has been created on 23 January 2011 by Reedy, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Tbleher for the current version. This is a new page. Editor's summary: Has commit access Contact the editor: mail: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser/Reedy wiki: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Reedy There will be no other notifications in case of further changes unless you visit this page. You could also reset the notification flags for all your watched pages on your watchlist. Your friendly MediaWiki notification system -- To change your watchlist settings, visit http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Watchlist/edit Feedback and further assistance http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Help My user page is on my watchlist, but it hasn't changed since its creation on 10 January 2008 (see http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Tbleher&action=history). So somehow the email text message got mixed up.
This is possibly a dupe of 15646 & 16766
(In reply to comment #1) > This is possibly a dupe of bug 15646 & bug 16766 And bug 25256. Pretty much the bug is that anything that is not an edit is a 'new page creation' to the notification service. (regardless of watchlist or not: wether user right, watched page or own talk page (even if not watched, but "changes to talkpage" is checked).
