You could try to add this code to your custom HTML (in the dead section)

&lt;script&gt;
  AJS.toInit(function(){
    &lt;!-- Disable "notifyWatchers" checkbox by default (on edit pages only) --&gt;
    AJS.$('input#notifyWatchers').attr('checked', false);
  });
&lt;/script&gt;

do you need to restart Confluence for this to work?

I needed to place this at the end of the body section for it to work for both direct and linked access to edit pages. Worked great, thanks!

There is a small piece of JavaScript you can add to your HTML header that will 'remember' if you uncheck the box for a few hours using a cookie. We love it this way, since it allows us to disable it, but it re-enables after a few hours in the spirit of open communication and sharing.
