The Reply tool removes pages from my watchlist
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start at a page that is on your watchlist.
  2. Reply to a comment
  3. Check your watchlist. The page is not listed there any longer.

First seen at huwiki by @Tacsipacsi, who reported it at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Vh1r8tc7ulwj30zh I have reproduced this. My watchlist prefs settings at huwiki do not automatically add all edited pages to my watchlist.

Event Timeline

My watchlist prefs settings at huwiki do not automatically add all edited pages to my watchlist.

Mines neither, but even with preferences changed (i.e. “Add pages and files I edit to my watchlist” turned on) the page gets out from my watchlist.

Change 574040 had a related patch set uploaded (by Esanders; owner: Esanders):
[mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor@master] Fix checkbox handling in the API

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/574040

This could possibly be reproduced and tested on Beta after Code Review

Update: 27-Feb

  • Talked about this during standup; the patch requires more work.

Is this patch already deployed on huwiki (when I activate the tool with the URL parameter)? If not, when will it be?

It should actually already be deployed since last Thursday, actually.

@Tacsipacsi To find out, you can look for a tag like MW-1.35-notes (1.35.0-wmf.22; 2020-03-03) on a task (or look in the "Included in" tab on Gerrit if there are multiple patches), and compare to https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version, which currently also has "1.35.0-wmf.22".

@matmarex Thanks for the tip, I haven’t known about those tabs.
