Description Nemo 2012-11-26 21:09:56 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #42457 +++

This, together with a bunch of changes in the extensions, would be – I guess – the most complete fix for bug 14901.

(Quoting from bug 14901 comment #63)
> "We could add handling for protect/unprotect/right, but this would not solve

I'd call this an enhancement, while bug 42457 is the remaining bug to be fixed (probably less painful than this request).

This might even be /too/ complete a solution and overlap with Echo work on core: cc'ing Andrew to be safe.

Did https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/114682/ fix this?

It is not possible to suppress log notifications emails or alter their content with current hooks in core.

Approved by IAlex. :) Hopefully that's enough for the "whether to send an email" side, but changing content is tricky: how can we do that, by making enotif_body more modular perhaps? (As was done in part for bug 14901.)
