Wikimedia Bugzilla is closed!

Wikimedia has migrated from Bugzilla to Phabricator. Bug reports should be created and updated in Wikimedia Phabricator instead. Please create an account in Phabricator and add your Bugzilla email address to it.
Wikimedia Bugzilla is read-only. If you try to edit or create any bug report in Bugzilla you will be shown an intentional error message.
In order to access the Phabricator task corresponding to a Bugzilla report, just remove "static-" from its URL.
You could still run searches in Bugzilla or access your list of votes but bug reports will obviously not be up-to-date in Bugzilla.

Ticking a box ([X]) to enable something is more logical than ticking a box to
enable the disableing of something. In Special:Preferences "Disable e-mail from
other users" should be changed to "Enable e-mail from other users", it's brief
and to the point.

I totally agree and have proposed the same some time ago. Together with my work
on Enotif (bug 454) I'll change the behaviour, if the other developers have
nothing against this change.

committed myself to implement this

I'd be more inclined to have it displayed as "Allow email from other users" myself.
