I would like the option to receive notification by email for any event. This would mean that infrequent users, like me, would not have to log-in to the Wiki to check things.
The emails should include as much information as possible about the notified event, in the email body.
The emails should keep being sent, even if the user hasn't logged-in to check the previously notified event.
Thanks for the suggestion, and the detailed use-case explanation on phabricator. :)
As you probably saw, I've merged the task you filed, into the older task (Phab:T114587 into Phab:T33928).
That said, Echo is not part of the software used for sending these watchlist notifications - Echo is an extension that is only ~3 years old, and watchlist notifications are part of "core" mediawiki. However, there have been discussions about changing that, and hopefully things will change in time, as the developers decide how to best handle these things.
Hope that helps.
Thanks, Quiddity.
I would also like my comments here to be taken into account for all Echo notifications, as well as Watchlist notifications.
As a relatively infrequent user, I would like to monitor everything from my email client without logging-in to Wiki - email is where many of the notifications I receive about other things arrive.
Ideally, the emails would have taglines in the subject, or be from a specific email address so they can be automatically filed for checking together.
