[mediawiki/core@master] WLFilters: set default values

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/372877

• Page edits: active

Just like in RC, these are selected when "hide categorization" is selected on the preference page. It is selected by default for users who have never changed it.

• Human (not bot): active

Controlled by 'hide bots' on the preference page. NOT selected by default.

• Latest revision: active

The patch above makes it active by default.

• Group changes by page: active

Controlled by 'enhanced' option on the RC preference page.

• Days to Watch: 3
• Max number of changes to show: 250

The patch above makes it so that those values are coming from the WL preference page.

• Unseen changes (in the " Watchlist activity" group): filter=not active but highlight=green

There is a discussion in T171235 about whether highlighting by default is 'too much'. Left out for now.

I've changed my mind about a number of the settings that I originally said should be default on Watchlist. (I wrote this ticket before the Consolidated Preferences tags, so I think I had a different idea about the project back then.)

So unless someone explains why I was right to begin with, the following items should NOT be default preferences on Watchlist (I've edited the Description above to reflect the changes):

• Human (not bot): active
• Group changes by page: active
• Unseen changes (in the " Watchlist activity" group): filter=not active but highlight=green

@SBisson, I moved this back to In Dev, so you can effect the changes above. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I was under the assumption that the new watchlist in beta would show the same results as the old watchlist by default. I think it would clarify things if that is mentioned explicitly in the ticket description, and any proposed default that differs from what users currently get is clearly marked as such.

Yes, thanks Pau. To clarify: The defaults listed above now are, the best I can tell, the defaults as they currently exist (but translated to the new UX).

The updated version of the task description is what I had done in the patch. Moving back to "Needs Review"

Checked in betalabs - works as expected.

Any settings in Preferences-Watchlist (including Days to Watch and Max number of changes to show) will be preserved for a user who switched to the New filters beta features.
The overall look is below:
