Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Do we want to add a way to let people know or select the temporary option via preferences?

Event Timeline

There is a use case for default expiries for rollback, and in fact I recall someone mentioning this in the community consultation. At cursory glance, the engineering efforts don't seem horrendous: just replace the current boolean preference (watch or don't watch) with a string (blank for don't watch, or "1 week" / "1 month" / etc.), and update the parts of the code that make use of the preference. It would be the same change for the 5 other watchlist preferences too, so it may make sense just to do all of them, if we want to.
