WatchSubpages extension allows a user to add all subpages of a page quickly to their watchlist.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called WatchSubpages in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

  wfLoadExtension( 'WatchSubpages' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

To users running MediaWiki 1.24 or earlier:

The instructions above describe the new way of installing this extension using wfLoadExtension(). If you need to install this extension on these earlier versions (MediaWiki 1.24 and earlier), instead of wfLoadExtension( 'WatchSubpages' );, you need to use:

require_once "$IP/extensions/WatchSubpages/WatchSubpages.php";

MediaWiki 1.11 to 1.21

You will also need to give some group the watchsubpages user right. If you want to allow all registered users to access "Special:WatchSubpages", then add the following to your wiki's LocalSettings.php:

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['watchsubpages'] = true;
