the changeset is for a different bug

Also, please fix the commit message of I20322a7463b3afedf01aadcad8177824ee9c86ed . it currently points to this ticket, but as you noted, it really belongs to a different one (methinks 44222 or 44225 ?)

That commit was already merged. I don't think the message can be altered now...

sorry, I got confused with the bug numbers! it's only possible to amend the commit message before the patch gets merge, so too late now.

but, that patch only went into our deployment branch and not master. I can get the one for master *right*. :)

Can folks try to verify this again to see if the problem is still happening?

On hewiki, I am watching:

ניו יורק

My watchlist has the following Wikidata edits, including removing and adding hewiki link:

On test2 wiki (which behaves as English Wikipedia, as far as Wikidata is concerned), I also tried renaming a sitelink and it shows the changes:

(now, the job queue on test2 seems stuck at the moment so I'm not seeing new changes for today)

PS - if you use the enhanced changes preferences, we don't really support that quite yet so in that case you may not see the changes at all in the watchlist. It's a known issue that we are working on.

this is far from being an exhaustive test, but rudimentary test shows that the problem went away (btw: was something fixed, or the original report was bogus?): there are bots who create a a storm of new pages in wikidata (methinks for templates mainly, but hopefully they'll do cats also eventually), and i see these new pages on my watchlist when they link to a page i'm watching.

so, as far as i'm concerned, this can be closed. again, i'll appreciate a note whether there was a real bug that was fixed, or whether the initial report was bogus.

peace.

Doing so.
