Summary: API read/reset of watchlist's wl_notificationtimestamp Product: MediaWiki Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Keywords: easy Severity: enhancement Priority: Normal Component: API AssignedTo: roan.katt...@gmail.com ReportedBy: mk45...@gmail.com CC: bryan.tongm...@gmail.com, vasi...@gmail.com There is currently no read/reset access to the watchlist timestamp. This timestamp could be used for something like an update marker: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Email_notification#Update_marker Adding this as an API feature would save editors with large watchlists from having to scan through to the last thing they checked. It would also allow editors to save certain watched items for later evaluation. This would save much time and hassle. The relevant API calls may be: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Watch http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query_-_Lists#watchlist_.2F_wl http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query_-_Meta#userinfo_.2F_ui Adding a param to edit-watch that sets the time (if blank sets to the current time) and lastchecked as a returned field in the watchlist list would resolve this issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
