Why the watchlist feed doesn't show differences between versions? The recent changes feed does it. The watchlist feed show only the username and not the content that has changed. Is it possible to display the changed content in the watchlist feed, like the recent changes feed?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Stefan.
Is there any traction on this? I would definitely prefer to use syndication to follow changes on my watchlists but at present, the updates are almost useless.
It seems that the feed of
"Changes to articles" -> OK
"Recent changes" -> OK
"New Pages" -> OK
"User watchlist" -> not OK
"User contributions" -> OK
The watchlist feed even contains the URL of diffs.
So why many years?
I see this is lowest priority, but maybe also lowest difficulty.
Example watchlist feed:

I glanced at it. I see, I understand.
I pointed out a discrepancy in the 5 feeds.
However, some say this is an incompatible change.
