Enable editors to unwatchlist pages by namespace
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Splitting this request from T401274.

Editors should be able to unwatchlist pages by namespace, for example only Draft namespace pages.

This could be a single or multi-select feature, but given the potential for mistakes with this tool, it might make sense to limit this to one namespace at a time, to encourage editors to proceed with caution and do one namespace at a time.

This could be a filter that is grouped with the 'Edited in X days' filter, so that users can combine the filters and remove, for example, all Template pages not edited in the last 180 days.

This could be done as a more general case of anything matching a particular regex.

This could be done as a more general case of anything matching a particular regex.

It could, but given that this tool is targeted at users with very large watchlists, we need to be wary of performance, and a namespace filter is presumably going to be significantly more performant than a regex search.
