$wgUsersNotifiedOnAllChanges used to notify on all changes as the name implies. This was broken in a recent version. A more equitable fix, given the desires of others (see bug#33880), may be to allow users to specify whether or not they wish to receive e-mail for their own changes. But the possibility of receiving e-mail on every change to every page should be restored to its previously-working state.
> This was broken in a recent version. Do you refer to a Wikimedia website or to your own MediaWiki installation? If the latter, from which version did you upgrade? What exactly is the current behavior? Is this triggered by bug 33880 or is it some other issue?
This is my own MediaWiki installation. The upgrade was from 1.15.x to 1.19.2. The current behavior is that users in that list do not receive notification of their own changes via e-mail. Before the "fix" from bug #33880, users in that list received e-mails for *every* page change (as the variable name implies they should). That said, I don't think a simple revert is the right move. It would be nice if people, in general, could opt to receive or not receive e-mails for their own changes.
