Description Trevor Huenison 2014-02-13 14:53:30 UTC
When a page is moved from being protected to unprotected any users watching the page are sent an email indicating that a New Page has been created.
Comment 1 Andre Klapper 2014-02-13 16:51:12 UTC
Which MediaWiki software version is this about?
Comment 2 Trevor Huenison 2014-02-13 16:55:16 UTC
This is for version 1.20.4.
Comment 3 Andre Klapper 2014-02-13 19:18:45 UTC
I could not find an existing ticket when searching for "protect && {mail | message | notif}" in this bug tracker. Hence no idea if this is still an issue in a recent (and supported) version of MediaWiki, still I recommend upgrading for security reasons.
Comment 4 Trevor Huenison 2014-02-13 19:41:24 UTC
I couldn't find any bugs on this either (old or new), which is why I reported this.  Our wiki is internal to our company and behind a firewall.  We will be upgrading as soon as it is practical.
