Description

Go to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Watchlist

Select "User" namespace in the dropdown menu
Click "Go"
The page will be reloaded but the URL will still be

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Watchlist

Notice that if now I click in e.g. "Show minor edits", the URL becomes
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Watchlist&namespace=2&hideminor=0
so the "Go" button should also generate this parameter.

This would allow scripts such as
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Theopolisme/Scripts/ajaxWatchlist.js?oldid=598337587
to easily update the page with the same parameters it was loaded initially.

I would like to work on this.
Can someone please assign this bug to me ?

The reason the "namespace" parameter doesn't appear in the url is because the form on the Watchlist page uses POST method.
Changing it to GET seems to work.

So, should i change it to GET, since there is no sensitive data being passed ?
