Watchlist should show individual uploads to watched files on the Commons
Closed, InvalidPublicFeature

Description

Watchlist does not show individual uploads to watched files on the Commons. What it does is this:

09:31 (Upload log)‎ . . [Delphi234‎ (2×)]

The the upload log link goes to the upload list for ALL of the Commons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/upload
So that is a useless link.

The user name link goes to the user page. Also useless. The only thing it does is take one to the page where one can click the user contribution link. But that can be cluttered with many contributions on some days.

So I can not help update file pages with an updated description to match the updated file. I do this for various file pages on the Commons.

You can uncollapse the list of individual log events, which link to the files. (Old task, so maybe wasn't the case back then?)

In my Commons watchlist nowadays I see individual image upload info:

(Upload log) AKS471883 talk contribs uploaded a new version of File:COVID-19 Outbreak World Map.svg ‎(Kiribati 1000)

I am embarrassed to say I did not notice the arrowhead expanding the individual uploads here:

(Upload log)‎ [Treck08‎; Jamesy0627144‎; HerrAdams‎; 幺于‎]

This function is not listed in the legend box at the top right of my Commons watchlist. I have no idea if this is as new function or not. No one mentioned it in this 8 year old thread previously.

If it has been there all along then maybe many people aren't noticing that tiny arrowhead or what it does. I suggest putting it in the legend.

I would like to have that in expanded mode all the time. No arrowhead. I don't see an option for that. Maybe this thread could be changed to that feature request.

If you click the dropdown that has the number of changes and number of days, you can unselect the option "Group results by page".
