Description

Implement full support for enhanced changes format in client recent changes and watchlist.

This requires a bit of refactoring and cleanup of spaghetti code in core, and then simplify / provide a more fine-grained way for extensions to hook into the core code that generates the recent changes lists in the special pages.


This should be easier now that rMW78f109bfddd0: Generalize recentChangesFlags rollup is in.

Hello,

This came up at wikipedia.fr "Bistro" today. Any idea on when this may be fixed. At the moment the only option to see Wikidata changes is to display ALL changes in article whcih makes the Watchlist very busay and difficult to read.

If one uses "Display only last change"and a change in the page content happens after the Wikidata change, this is gone from the watchlist and cannot be seen from the article history.

Thanks,

SC aka N

Just noting that fixing this will be an extra precaution against potential vandalism arising from wikidata description editing in Android app for communities with app usage, but not a lot of wikidata usage.

rMW78f109bfddd0: Generalize recentChangesFlags rollup lays part of the groundwork for this. It makes it easier for extensions to interact with the grouping code (which goes from individual lines to groups).

I wonder when this is going to be deployed. If it's the following week, it should be added to Tech News now, otherwise it can wait.

What more exactly does this mean for editors? What is the enhanced changes format more specifically?

What more exactly does this mean for editors?

They can now choose whether they want to see Wikidata changes in enhanced watchlist/recent changes. Previously, this was disabled for all of them.

What is the enhanced changes format more specifically?

You can choose in your preferences how recent changes and watchlist will look like. The enhanced implementation groups changes to the same page; the block of the grouped changes is collapsible.

I've tried the links and those options doesn't seem to work with the New filters for Edit Review, at the moment available as a Beta feature. Is there any ticket concerning the integration? I don't find one.

They seem to work fine together for me – can you elaborate / file a bug?

Niether can I see them. The patch was merged today, I do not expect the change to be available sooner than the next week (when?).

So @matmarex examples are not supposed to work for him nor me? :)
