Inappropriate?Kathleen,
Those who have email notifications enabled will generally be notified of the change, though if we've sent them an email recently our system may hold off to avoid sending too much email. We're working on a design for the notification code which handles that whole process better, since it's not really what most users seem to expect when they use a wiki.
In the mean time, that's a good idea as a distinct new feature -- sort of a "this is important, you should come read it" button. We've thought of some other things in the same vein but will be taking this on seriously in the near future.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?I have a site in progress and proposed for acceptance by a blind and visually impaired club. When meeting notices are posted, or important committee news is posted, this feature would be GREAT! Not every one of the membership would like to get emails every time each page is edited, or even once a day, and this feature would make them all feel more comfortable.

Inappropriate?In a similar vein, would it be possible to have a checkbox either next to the Save button(s) or as a pop-up that asks, "Did you just do something relevant to tell others about?" -- vs. touch-up, formatting, a few slight word changes, etc.
Something that is in-between no change notifications and change notifications on EVERYTHING. Especially since we can see "All Pages" and "Recent Changes".
Perhaps the check-box by the Save button with a default behavior so that I'm not getting a pop-up every time I change my personal, "only I can read it" wiki.
