New filters for edit review on Watchlist can't be opt-out on wikis
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Filters are available by default on Watchlist. Whether you have the filters on Watchlist is supposed to be controlled by the Beta preferences. I've tried to change my preferences using my WMF account and my volunteer account on Wikidata with no change, apparently. @Lea_Lacroix_WMDE tried it as well with no success.

I have that issue on deployment train phase 0 and phase 1 wikis (mediawiki.org, all non Wikipedias, Wikidata, Catalan Wikipedia)
On phase 2 wikis (fr.wp, es.wp), I've been able to enable and disable the Betafeature.

Opt-out the Recent Changes improvements in preferences turns the Watchlist to the default state (no filters).

[mediawiki/core@master] WLFilters: Correctly check if RCFilters should be enabled on WL

Opting out of the beta works fine on en.wiki but not Wikidata. For me.

That's normal, @jmatazzoni. The deployment train is the following:

  • Tuesday 19:00-21:00 UTC: deployment on group0 (test wikis and mw.org)
  • Wednesday 19:00-21:00 UTC: group1 (non-Wikipedias, Catalan and Hebrew Wikipedias)
  • Thursday 19:00-21:00 UTC: group2 (other Wikipedias)
