My 2 agorot in the Flow or not Flow discussion:
A prominent Hebrew Wikipedia user started a discussion about his impression
that too few people participate in the discussions about nominating
featured articles.[1] This Wikipedia has about 700 active and 150 very
active editors[2]; the number of
English Wikipedia rarely has more than 10-15 people participating in
featured content candidate discussions/reviews. I'm hugely impressed that
Hebrew Wikipedia has this level of participation in similar discussions. I
suspect this is a higher level of participation than is seen on most
projects,

These opinions are relevant, but the way
they are presented in the watchlist is unhelpful and I feel that it wastes
my time.
If the reason is so trivial (on it.wiki it's certainly more complex than
that), sounds like something that subpagination and/or RSS

Seeing notifications about articles in the same watchlist with these
notifications is already an issue.
There's a namespace selector. I select ns0 + talk when I'm in editing
mode and invert that when I'm not.
Seeing only the last support or oppose

The alternative would be to set watchlist to show all changes and
not just the last one, but then it would show one row per change or a
group
of rows per page, and that would make it even more cluttered.
That never looked cluttered to me. :)
It did to me, and AFAIK, you and I started

I expect half of what would come up to be problems with Watchlist and
RecentChanges, applying to any namespace and only made worse by the
repeated attempt to take stuff out of them. Those are THE central
engines of any wiki

That is quite true. A deep modernization of the Watchlist should be coupled
with the Flow poject somehow. Either Special:Watchlist itself should be
profoundly redesigned and upgraded, or the Flow+Echo notifications

Figuring out how Flow integrates with the watchlist and Echo is one of the
toughest and most important parts of the project. The feedback that the
team got from the last couple releases was actually pretty diverse, and
showed us that there's going to be a lot of work ahead of us to figure out
how
That's awesome news!
