Some Wikidata items' edits don't appear on my local watchlist
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Watched item's changes don't appear on my local watchlist if I watch the item on Wikidata too.

  • If I watch Example article only locally, its Wikidata-changes appear on my local watchlist
  • If I watch Example article locally and on Wikidata, its Wikidata-changes don't appear on my local watchlist

It should be fixed because I use Show Wikidata edits in your watchlist for seeing the changes, not for losing any edits because the items on my Wikidata-watchlist too.

Event Timeline

Are you sure this has anything to do with the watchlist status? It really shouldn't make a difference. I believe what you're seeing instead is T192085 which leads to some changes not showing up in the watchlist. Could you please check?

@Lydia_Pintscher We could easily test it. I've removed Q1292076 from my Wikidata watchlist. Please add the following labels in English:

If I don't spot Q26844250 (Wikidata+locally watched) but see Q1292076 (ony locally watched) on my huWiki watchlist, then the bug is real.

This is a x/y problem. I make a fix right away.

What do you mean under x/y problem? I'd like to learn. :)

I mean XY problem. The real reason behind this is actually something else that I'm working on a fix for that.
