Enable notifications

image

To receive notifications, a user has to enable the specific Semantic MediaWiki related notification preferences with an agent (the user that initiated a change) being generally excluded from receiving notifications about his own actions.

Workflow

Monitor value changes

To monitor property value changes (yellow icon), it is required that a property:

  • Denotes a Notifications on property with + to identify any value change while a distinct value like [[Notifications on::distinctValue]] will only create a notification event for a change from/to that "distinctValue"
  • Declares a Notifications to group to inform members of that group in case of a notification event

After preferences have been set, properties appropriately prepared, then each user can decided to add on his/her user page a membership to one or more notification groups using the Notifications group member of property.

  • SomeProperty → [[Notifications on::+]] → [[Notifications to group::Bar]]
  • User:Foo → [[Notifications group member of::Bar]]

It is not possible to add a membership Notifications group member of to a group that has not yet been assigned to any property.

The same procedure can be applied to watch categories where Notifications on and Notifications to group are being denoted on a category page and will trigger an event in case a page adds/removes that category.

Monitor specification changes

If a user wants to watch changes to properties itself (blue icon) then Notifications group member of provides a special group called entity specification change group (which is reserved) to monitor changes to all property pages.
