[02:56:25] <gry>	 hi, why does ping added to article main namespace does not ping me, but only on talk pages and edit summaries?
[02:59:11] <p858snake|cloud>	 It's probably drisgned to do that, because you shouldn't need to ping people in the main namespace
[02:59:26] <p858snake|cloud>	 *designed
[02:59:41] <p858snake|cloud>	 (This is wild speculation as i havnt looked)
[04:05:59] <gry>	 can this configuration be changed?
[04:06:10] <gry>	 i have a list of users who would like to get 'notified' of new page creations
[04:06:27] <gry>	 in main namespace
[08:27:11] <Lucas_WMDE>	 gry: ping only sends a notification if a signature is being added in the same edit
[08:27:27] <Lucas_WMDE>	 I don’t think the namespace is directly related, but people don’t usually sign messages in the main namespace
[08:27:36] <Lucas_WMDE>	 (signature meaning ~~~~)
[10:20:39] <gry>	 Lucas_WMDE: ok, I will add signature.
[10:21:28] <gry>	 Lucas_WMDE: I wanted to add to main namespace, because a user wants to get notified via Echo about new article creations. Is there some other way to achieve this?
[10:23:59] <gry>	 Lucas_WMDE: are we still connected? What is your availability like? I have about one hour, then go to sleep.
[10:25:09] <Lucas_WMDE>	 I guess they could keep an eye on Special:Log/create? and/or Special:RecentChanges with appropriate filters?
[10:25:50] <Lucas_WMDE>	 I’m not aware of a MediaWiki feature that sends notifications every time a page is created
[10:26:36] <p858snake|cloud>	 ping them on the talk page instead?
[10:26:54] <p858snake|cloud>	 Is there a rss feed on Special:NewPages?
[10:27:52] <Lucas_WMDE>	 good idea, looks like there is an atom feed
[10:28:10] <Lucas_WMDE>	 e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NewPages&feed=atom
[10:28:30] <Lucas_WMDE>	 can also be filtered with some parameters of Special:NewPages
[11:06:22] <gry>	 Lucas_WMDE: preferred notifications as user cannot always stare at a tab
[11:06:59] <gry>	 rss feed ok, i will have a look thanks
