Moving old posts to a different category triggers email notifications for anyone watching that category. I need to do a bit of re-organization at my site, but it’s going to be confusing to folks if they receive notifications for these old posts. Is there I way I can temporarily disable this behavior…

I haven’t tested it but the disable category edit notifications setting looks promising.

i think you looking for this setting create revision on bulk topic moves

That didn’t work for me? I turned it off, moved a topic, and the ‘watching first post’ user still got a notification. Is there anything else I needed to do? Edit: I had a brainfart, and didn’t do a bulk move. I’ll try again. :slightly_smiling_face: Update: It still sends the watching first post no…

Same here. I had create revision on bulk topic moves disabled when email was triggered.

That sounds like the right setting, thanks!

You might want to mark @Simon_Manning ’s post as the solution, so the answer shows up properly in the OP. :+1:

Je ne l’ai pas encore testé, mais le paramètre « désactiver les notifications d’édition de catégorie » semble prometteur.
