-The next step is to enable the Doctrine subscriber in the Symfony application by
-creating a new service for it and :doc:`tagging it </service_container/tags>`
-with the ``doctrine.event_subscriber`` tag:

+    is a marker interface extending ``Doctrine\Common\EventSubscriber`` and was

+    Subscribers implementing this interface will be enabled automatically in the
+    Symfony application.
+    In older versions of DoctrineBundle, the service had to be added manually
+    and tagged with the ``doctrine.event_subscriber`` tag.
 
 If you need to associate the subscriber with a specific Doctrine connection, you
 can do it in the service configuration:
