User story: As an editor, I want to view recent edits to specifics sets of pages of interest, so that I can focus my attention on different areas of my Wikimedia project.
In the parent ticket, and the various links and other tickets documented therein, users have expressed a desire to be able to have a way to view recent changes to specific sets of pages. This is in contrast to viewing recent edits for all pages on their watchlist - pages might have been watched for different reasons at different times.
The following are the components that would require adjustment:
Below is the start of the list of user experiences we would need to adjust for this work. Others may still need to be added.
Adding a page to your watchlist
When adding a page to your Watchlist, you may want to add it to a set of pages.
- How could users add a page to one or more (or no) page sets while watching it?
Viewing pages in your watchlist
One model (pending technical investigation - T390088) for this feature could be that pages do not have to be part of a set of pages. This implies a Watchlist for all watched pages, with options for filtered views for individual tags. Users probably want to see which tags are applied to specific pages in their watchlist.
- How can we add Watchlist tags to the Watchlist, per entry in the edit log, without cluttering it unnecessarily?
Filtering the watchlist to sets of pages
- Given the suggestion above, that pages can have one or more tags applied, how would we allow editors to filter on those tags? Tabs? A dropdown? Something else?
Editing watched pages
Special:EditWatchlist
Special:EditWatchlist/raw
Editors can view their list of watched pages and edit it.
- How could we enable pages to be added to or removed from page sets?
- What would this look like in the 'raw' EditWatchlist view?
