Sorry I'm late to the game on this, having just edited my group's wiki for the first time since the change. (And, I never check the box to notify members of changes.)
I don't want to add on to an old thread, but search didn't reveal anything more recent than this that I could find. My issue is that as I was editing (and saving edits) to the Wiki today, my group got emailed each time I saved, which obviously isn't ideal. :)
But, unlike this thread seemed to imply, the emails did NOT have any hashtag (#wiki or #wiki-notice or otherwise) and when I check my group's hashtags, no related hashtag shows up there either. So, I'm not sure now to mute/block these notifications from going out based on restricting hashtags.
My group members are not all that tech savvy, interacting almost exclusively by email, (most simply receiving, and occasionally replying) and most of them have never visited the site to enable their own controls. Even if they did, there's no hashtag/topic for them to mute, as I've told some of the more adventurous ones they are free to do.
I can see that there have been generally changes to a lot of types of notifications, so I'm prepared for some growing pains, but I can't figure out how to prevent these notifications on my end if there's no hashtag. Is this just where things are right now as the changes are being implemented, or is there something I'm missing, and something I can do? (At the very least, I'd be more aware of not saving incremental changes if I can't prevent an email going out every single time as I'm doing larger-scale edits.)? :)
Thanks,
Sarah.
