Show number of edits on Special:Watchlist
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

Hi. Could we please see the number of currently shown edits on Special:Watchlist? For example, if one has 1000 edits maximum and they see 900, that means that they need to open them quick, before it becomes 1000. And if it's 1000, there is a chance that there are more, and only these are the shown. I think it is very easy. For example, just count the div elements of some kind on the page. Thank you.

Hi @IKhitron, thanks for taking the time to report this! As asked several times before, please provide a link and clear steps to reproduce and a clear explanation why you "need to open them quick before it becomes 1000" etc. It is unclear to me why you continue to ignore requests to follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug , so currently others will have to spend more time trying to understand what you are requesting where and why.

And if it's 1000, there is a chance that there are more, and only these are the shown.

The number is already shown on top (at least on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Watchlist ):

Ah, this seems to be about *edits* specifically, not pages on the watchlist. I see. Please follow this format when creating future tasks:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to Special:Watchlist, e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Watchlist
  2. See the dropdown, e.g. "1000 changes, 30 days".

Actual outcome:
See either max 1000 changes listed, and/or changes in the last 30 days.

Expected outcome:
Be able to realize that change number 1001-x which took place in the last 30 days are not listed on this page.

Thanks, but just to know if there are more than 1000 (for example) is not enough. If the number is 100, one should not read them quickly. If it's 900, they should, because it will be 1001 soon. This is why I've asked for a number.
