https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21223 PiRSquared17 pirsquare...@gmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added CC||pirsquare...@gmail.com --- Comment #6 from PiRSquared17 pirsquare...@gmail.com --- (In reply to Cenarium from comment #5) It's been tried, some wikiprojects have their watchlists, and some pages listing articles like [[Template:Popular articles]] propose this functionality, but it's not much used[...] Why would this feature be any different? [...], and often the pages end up no longer updated and people cease to use them; because it's very impractical to use and limited: you need to access the relatedchanges for the page, and of course there is no dynamic way to add to your watchlist all pages linked on a given page. This may be true, but it should not be /too/ hard to get the page names and add them with the raw watchlist editor. It's also cumbersome to update, you need to sort them[...] You don't strictly *need* to sort them. [...], link the talk pages too[...] You may be able to use a template for that. [...], while a common watchlist editor similar to the raw watchlist editor would be simple to use and sort automatically. So common watchlists could be deployed widely, and linked from [[Special:Watchlist]] in some way. In fact it's a heavy enhancement of PovWatch, and you can see support for it being enabled at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 52#PovWatch]] - bug 20523. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21223 --- Comment #5 from Cenarium cenarium.sy...@gmail.com 2009-10-24 15:19:30 UTC --- (In reply to comment #3) The principle remains the same: the ability to maintain separate watchlists (with varying degrees of access). Re-suggest DUPING. The principle is fundamentally different, bug 7467 and bug 5875 are about personal/user watchlists, splitting them or changing their visibility, while this bug is about developing common watchlists (CW), hosted for example at Special:CommonWatchlists/1, Special:CommonWatchlists/2, ... editable by users with CW editor permissions, that can be created and marked as deleted by CW admins, etc (see http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposal:Common_watchlists). A user can subscribe to a particular CW so that all pages on the CW appear directly on their user watchlist (similarly to PovWatch). It requires a whole new extension or heavy upgrade of PovWatch. (In reply to comment #4) why don't you just use relatedchanges feature? It's been tried, some wikiprojects have their watchlists, and some pages listing articles like [[Template:Popular articles]] propose this functionality, but it's not much used, and often the pages end up no longer updated and people cease to use them; because it's very impractical to use and limited: you need to access the relatedchanges for the page, and of course there is no dynamic way to add to your watchlist all pages linked on a given page.
