スケジュールされたカテゴリ変更時に通知をトリガーするが、手動の変更時にはトリガーしない

[Nacho_Caballero]

@david

it didn’t actually change any behaviour

It might have been a later change. All I know is that notifications were being generated on July 31 but not on August 1.

@david

The other case to consider here is ‘publishing’ topics from a PM or from shared drafts. So I don’t think ‘with a timer’ is necessarily the best way to separate it

Agreed.

@david

Is this kind of cleanup always done via the ‘bulk’ tools? If so… perhaps we’d be better off removing the site settings and having a checkbox available on bulk actions like “skip notifications for this category change”

I think that’s the direction that’s being explored:

@sam

You are about to change categories on 1293 topics which will notify 8000 people watching the #new::tag category, Would you like to notify them?
