The change you appear to be describing with articles of different priorities would involve substantial core changes that should be done as part of multiple watchlists in core, before they should be incorporated into the global watchlist display

Fair point and that's why I only raised this in a comment at that task. Most likely, it depends on some substantial core changes implemented first. But still this could become a Global Watchlist -only or -first feature instead of getting built into the current main Watchlist.

GlobalWatchlist is only installed on meta for WMF wikis (its intended to be only on the central wiki that it should be accessed from) and this would require schema changed, etc. on the target wikis with the various watchlists, so it cannot really come to GlobalWatchlist first

@Prototyperspective: For future reference, please use the feature request form (linked from the top of the task creation page) to create feature requests. Thanks.

Well, looks like the work on labels is going very well recently. If and when there will be working labels on Wikimedia Foundation wikis, including at least two functionalities:

1. User can add a label to specific watched page.
2. The query/list/watchlist Action API has a new label field.

I think I have a good chance to resolve this task, @Prototyperspective.
