Description

A misleading "created" e-mail message is generated, when a watched page is actually moved in LiquidThreads:

From: MediaWiki Mail <noreply@translatewiki.net>

This is almost a duplicate of bug 14901 except that LQT is a very special case.
An ad-hoc notification is needed so that it's understandable and it also can be sent to watcher of the target talk, see blocked bug.

Adding as blocker of bug 39480 because we use thread move heavily.
Ryan, Fabrice, is this sort of thing something Echo will address?

Nemo: Sort of, but not directly. Echo will provide the notification framework that Flow will use to provide notifications. Flow is the eventual replacement for LQT. Someone could hack LQT to use Echo rather than it's own notifications, but it probably won't be done by the Foundation. Either way, this bug would need to be fixed on the LQT/Flow side. Echo would just be the messenger. Echo does generate some Notifications on its own, but only for some core functions. Any notifications related to Extensions are actually defined in the Extensions themselves (and either use Echo hooks or the Echo API to deliver the notifications). We don't have any plans to do any work on LQT, though.

Your options are probably:

Convince Andrew Garrett (or a volunteer) to fix the bug
Disable LiquidThreads
Wait a year (or so) for Flow

LiquidThreads has been replaced by StructuredDiscussions on all Wikimedia production wikis (except one, which will be done soon). It is no longer under active development or maintenance, so I'm re-classifying all open LQT tasks as "Lowest" priority.

Changing this without a Gerrit patch is a bit weired
