Page-Specific Notifications
Within pbwiki 2.0, is it possible to set up notifications on a page basis? For example, some users might only want to be notified when certain pages are changed, rather than when any page within the entire wiki is changed.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?Nope. In the past, PBwiki staffers recommended that users create email filters to sort out notifications. That will not work with the new notification system, however, which combines multiple page edits into a single email.

Inappropriate?GF's answer is right with the new notifications. However, at the beginning of the notification email, the handy list of pages that were changed are also links to those pages, which may be useful.
I know this has been requested before, but I'll make sure it's brought up again. Thanks for your feedback!

My point was that you can't just filter out messages for a given page with the new notifications. That wouldn't be necessary with page-level notifications anyway. -
Inappropriate?On a daily basis, my users are only interested in specific areas of the wiki. They need to be notified of changes, but if they're told of every change, they'll turn the notifications off and the wiki won't be as effective. Filtering is a bit too complex for my non-savvy users. I chose pbwiki because it's the most user friendly wiki I found, but this is a big outage. Please add my name to the list of people wanting page level notifications.
