How can I automatically be notified on new documents in a wiki?

When members of the team are creating pages for a Wiki, I have to find the document, and manually enable page notifications and comment notifications.

This is exhausting and open to user error.

How can I ensure that this is automatically enabled for any content in a given application?

I'm already a member of the group.

  • Daily Digests is really the only Out of The Box Way to achieve this - a digest should cover new content and comments in a given group.

    For our members, this is like removing a dam's floodgates compared to turning on a tap. They don't want to receive digests for content, immediate notifications for other content (in this case forums), and result in a flooded mailbox. There are also members who want to solely receive notifications via the website and not via e-mail.

    From a user experience, it's entirely befuddling to them that different content types are treated so drastically differently - for example, you can't even get a direct link to wiki comments in notifications or e-mails, but you can manually directly link to these comments.

    An answer I was looking for with this thread is "Is this capable out of the box, or will it have to be a customisation, and will this have to be raised as another idea?" I basically have that answer thanks to the input from you and Alex Slight smile

    I agree about the content type notifications being so inconsistent. I didn't know that about the direct links, but I've basically (I think...?) turned off wiki comments across the site since the notification system for them is so unreliable.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news -- If you create an idea though, please share it. I could have sworn there was one already for more consistency between application types, but I can't find it. The closest I found was your comment here.
