Watching articles in a given category wouldn't be too hard.

If contributions to sv.wikipedia and Wikimedia commons could be combined in one list, that would be all the better. Viewing contributions made by a group (with the option of importing from a category) look appropiate for a TS tool. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

[snip] Are there already any smarter tools to do this? You could make a list of all the politicians you are interested in as a subpage of your user page (or a wikiproject page) and then use the related changes feature on that page. It's not ideal, but it would work. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
Re: [Wikitech-l] More advanced watchlists
At Wikimania, I had a great discussion with Brianna about the sorts of things we'd like to do to bring watchlists up to date with all the current use cases. We'd definitely want to be able to watch for periods of time, we want to be able to watch categories, and perhaps shared and multiple watchlists are ideas worth investigating. -- Andrew Garrett agarr...@wikimedia.org http://werdn.us/ ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
