Not receiving Wiki Watchlist edit email alerts since 5 May 2018

Today I realized that I am not receiving Arch Wiki email alerts for pages in my Watchlist

Is anyone else facing similar issue?

Last email that I received was on 5th May for changes to Pacman package at about 4:01 (time)

After this I should have received email alerts for changes to following pages:
Grub
Makepkg
Wireless Network Configuration
WPA Supplicant
Systemd-boot
Fonts
Core Utilities

But none arrived. Alerts are enabled in settings.

I have not changed any of my filters. No emails exist in Trash or Junk as well.

I am receiving email alerts from this Arch Forums (new threads / posts) though.

I havent received any email from AUR (comment, out-of-date) as well but then there may not be update to packages (I still have to verify this)

Can someone confirm?

Thank you

Thank you for quick response.

Do you use gmail OR something else? I use gmail.

I checked gmail filters - all seem fine. I dont have any email address in block list either.

Where / who do I contact to report the issue?

How do I know if emails are bouncing? Or even know if emails are actually being sent to me?

I am receiving emails from several other mailing list as well.

So only Arch wiki (and may be Arch AUR - not sure) emails are not working

Do you have another email address you could test it with?  Just set your wiki email to the other one, and see if you get notifications.  That would at least help narrow it down.

The wiki was recently moved to new infrastructure; go into your preferences and reset everything and see if that makes any difference.

Just reset all preferences. Now waiting for some page to change and find if I got email or not.

If it doesnt work then will change email address and check.

Did this happen on 4 or 5 May 2018?

Also I just used this link to contact Myself!: (Email this user page)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sp … User/Amish

And email arrived in Archwiki folder i.e. email was delivered and filter was applied by Gmail too.

So now need to find out what is the issue with wiki page email notifications

@bluewind - I noticed that you resolved an issue recently (when wiki was moved) with wiki email configuration (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 9#p1772169)

Can you please look into my issue in this thread? I have tried everything I could.

Was anything changed on 4th or 5th May 2018?

I removed and re-added all pages in my watchlist.

And now I have received emails for last 2 changes.

Looks like some bug somewhere in wiki which stopped sending me emails all of sudden and I had to reset everything.

Note that there is a reset button (named "Mark all pages visited") in the watchlist interface: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Special:Watchlist
