This version of preferences is displayed to users who have the new UX on RC page and Watchlist (either because they've opted into the beta or, down the road, because these are standard or, in the interim, a combination of the two).
The many small changes made in the new design to wording and layout are too numerous to note individually. So, for layout of the page, see the screenshot below, under "**Layout**." And to get correct wording, copy and paste the text in the "**Wording**" section. (Please note there areCopy and paste is safest because so many, many small wording changes have been made.)
=Functionality
This section will single out for description only the functions and behavior which change in the preference consolidation. I.e., unless discussed, functionality will be the same as previous to consolidation. It's important to read each item carefully, because even very similar elements may have slightly different effects or behavior (or titles) in different versions of these preferences. All such differences have been noted.
===Number of edits to show section
- Number of edits becomes a section of its own.
- As before (though it was not fully stated), this control sets the default number of changes to show on History, Contributions & Logs pages. RC page, however, is no longer covered by ththis control (and WL always had a separate setting,). and WL always had a separate setting.) !!HAVE QUESTION PENDING ABOUT RC PAGE PREFS!!
- We will set a new maximum number for all these pages of 500.
- The header reads "Number of Edits to show on History, Contributions & Logs"

- On ORES wikis, Revision Scoring becomes its own section, and the controls apply to all pages on which it's available—which is only Contributions on this version.

- ONCE THE NEW UX ON WATCHLIST HAS GRADUATED OUT OF BETA a new preference for "Hide the improved version of Watchlist" appears. When a user selects this:
- Watchlist is rolled back to the pre-beta version.
- The Monitoring Changes preferences page reloads to display whichever of the 4 versions of the page is appropriate to that user, based on where she now does or doesn't have the new UX.

- A new preference for "Hide the improved version of Recent Changes" appears. When a user selects this:
