Email notifications
According to the relevant preferences, changes to pages you watch may also be notified to you by email. The main preference for this is "Wab-mail me whan ae page or file on ma watchleet is chynged".
After receiving an email notification for a page, you have to visit the page while logged in if you want to be notified of further changes to the same page.
Watchlist feed with token
You can set up an RSS or Atom feed of your watchlist that is accessible even when logged out:
- Get your watchlist token from Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist-tokenwatchlist
- Your watchlist RSS feed can be found at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=feedwatchlist&wlowner=USERNAME&wltoken=TOKEN, where USERNAME is your username without the User: prefix and TOKEN is the watchlist token.
- If you would prefer an Atom feed rather than an RSS one, add "&feedformat=atom" to the Link of your feed.
- To further customise your watchlist feed add different parameters to the link, see API:Watchlist_feed.
