I assembled some filters at German Wikipedia, in order to check the usage of Growth features. I see the following:
URL:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Letzte_%C3%84nderungen?hidebots=1&hidenewpages=1&hidecategorization=1&hideWikibase=1&tagfilter=mentorship+module+question%7Cnewcomer+task&limit=500&days=30&enhanced=1&tagfilter__mentorship+module+question_color=c3&tagfilter__newcomer+task_color=c1&urlversion=2
Then I wanted to check on the same thing at another wiki. I did the following:
- copy the link at de.wp
- open a new tab in my browser
- paste the link
- changed the wiki's language prefix
- replaced Spezial:Letzte_%C3%84nderungen with the generic Special:RecentChanges
- pressed Enter
Expectation:
- same colors being applied
Reality:
- no colors
URL reused and customized:
https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speciaal:RecenteWijzigingen&hidebots=1&hidenewpages=1&hidecategorization=1&hideWikibase=1&tagfilter=mentorship+module+question%7Cnewcomer+task&limit=500&days=30&enhanced=1&tagfilter__mentorship_module_question_color=c3&tagfilter__newcomer_task_color=c1&urlversion=2
Tested one again at Spanish Wikipedia, with the same outcome. URL :
https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?hidebots=1&hidenewpages=1&hidecategorization=1&hideWikibase=1&tagfilter=newcomer+task&limit=500&days=30&enhanced=1&title=Especial:CambiosRecientes&tagfilter__mentorship_module_question_color=c3&tagfilter__newcomer_task_color=c1&urlversion=2
Strangly, the order if the elements in the page have been changed when the page loaded. See the position of Especial:CambiosRecientes.
I tried it at German one again, just copy/pasting the URL in a private browsing window, and still have no color. URL I got:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Letzte_%C3%84nderungen?hidebots=1&hidenewpages=1&hidecategorization=1&hideWikibase=1&tagfilter=newcomer+task%7Cmentorship+module+question&limit=500&days=30&enhanced=1&tagfilter__newcomer+task_color=c1&tagfilter__mentorship+module+question_color=c3&urlversion=2
I noticed that the URL was transformed when the page finishes to load.
I note that tagfilter__mentorship+module+question_color=c3 on the original URL is sometimes changed to tagfilter__mentorship_module_question_color=c3 (pluses instead of underscores)
