Subscribing to Wiki Changes

Subscribing to wiki changes allows you to receive a notification any time a particular page on the wiki changes. There are two flavors of subscription:

  • Subscribing to individual pages
  • Subscribing to all pages

Important: You must have a wiki account and be logged in to manage your page subscriptions. If you don't have an account yet, read how to create a wiki account.

Here's how it works:

Subscribing to a particular page

  1. Browse to the page for which you would like to add a subscription
  2. Click the “Manage Subscriptions” button at the bottom of the page
  3. Select the first option under the “Subscribe” box. This should be the address of the page you are on. For example, subscribing to this page will show “howto:subscribe_to_changes”.
  4. Choose your notification method, either once for every change, or a digest email sent less frequently.
  5. Click the subscribe button.

Subscribing to all wiki pages

  1. Go to the start page.
  2. Click the “Manage Subscriptions” button at the bottom of the page.
  3. Select the second option under the Subscribe box. This should be a single asterisk(*) character.
  4. Choose your notification method, either once for every change, or a digest email sent less frequently.
  5. Click the subscribe button.

After you click subscribe, you should see a message at the top of your screen indicating that you have been added to the subscription list for whatever page you subscribed to.
