Description Martin Manscher 2006-11-09 12:28:23 UTC When using bots to change user discussion pages (e.g. link fixes), the user should not be notified of "new messages", as the edit is seldom (if ever) relevant for the user. Comment 1 Andrew Garrett 2006-11-09 12:29:38 UTC Already fixed. A few weeks ago. Comment 2 Martin Manscher 2006-11-09 12:31:31 UTC OK. Will await update :-) Comment 3 Aryeh Gregor (not reading bugmail, please e-mail directly) 2006-11-09 22:39:41 UTC The edits must be marked minor for it to work, but other than that I should imagine it's live by now.
