Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Notifications/Allow multiple people to subscribe to "article creator" specific notifications/Proposal

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
  • Problem: Currently the only way to get notified if someone added Example wikilink to another article is to have created Example themselves. Similarly, automatic notifications for deletions/redirections of an article are only sent to the creator, despite multiple people having vested interests. This is the current behaviour on English Wikipedia and possibly other wikis too.
  • Proposed solution: The simplest solution would be a bundled "co-creator/virtual creator" flag that someone can watch to, akin to "watching".
  • Who would benefit: Anyone deeply interested in specific articles on a similar if not greater level as the initial article creator
