To proactively schedule reviews of articles, users can set reminders on each page. By default, the knowledge base sends out a notification one week before and on the due date of the reminder.
7.1 Setting a reminder
To create a reminder:
- Click Set reminder in the page tools. A dialog window opens.
- Enter the reminder data.
- Click Done.
7.2 My reminders
Users can view and manage a list of their own reminders. The list can be loaded in the following ways.
- In the editing dialog (see image above) via the My reminders button.
- Via the User menu > Personal Tools > Reminders.
Here, reminders can be edited (wrench icon) or deleted (x icon).
7.3 Managing all reminders
The page Special:Reminder is available to administrators. It displays a list of all reminders. Admins can delete reminders here or edit the due date and other details. Users in the admin role can theoretically create reminders for other users. This option should be used with caution, however, as users may not expect others to create reminders on their behalf.
7.4 Notifications
By default, users receive a notification via email a week before or on the due date. This behavior can be managed in the user preferences.
