732668 - Article history should document changes of every kind

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(support.mozilla.org :: Knowledge Base Software, task, P2)

Description

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

Right now, if I make a change to an article's slug, category, "Relevant to", topics, keywords, or mark it as obsolete, those changes are not documented anywhere. They should be documented in the article history.

Adding Joni to the CC list.  

I really think this bug should be fixed.

Thanks for adding email notifications to this bug. However, frankly my intention was to have Sumo send email notifications on title changes only, also because that used to work in the old tikiwiki days where it sent "Wiki page renamed" emails containing "Old name:" and "New name:" lines. Not sure what's easier to implement - only that feature, or all of the above?

Also, is the purpose of this bug to add an "automatically insert applied change to history" feature? If so, that might be a bigger challenge.

If only localizers need to be notified about article title changes then that's covered in Bug 692502 - Warn localizers when an en-US article has been renamed

Email notifications should be a separate bug. This bug is about documenting changes in article history.
