This is slightly clumsy, but it works: Produce a list of all the articles you want to "watch" (which is the most tricky part of the process) and format them as a long list of wikilinks. Drop this into a userspace or projectspace page - it should just be a sea of blue links to individual articles. Then, use "Related Changes" from the sidebar - this will produce a list of all the edits made to every article linked. It isn't treated as a watchlist, so it shows all edits and not just the "top" ones. One caveat, though - it doesn't handle redirects or pagemoves very well. You need to make sure the links go direct to the target page, not via a redirect, or you'll end up watching for changes to the redirect page; and if a page linked from there is moved, you may miss any changes to it. > If I am able to get approval and funding from UBC I am hoping to run a > second round collecting the same data but with "pending changes" turned on > for a week on all medical articles.

The proposed As David says, I fear you may have more trouble getting agreement from the community! I'd love to see this part of the study done (and make a small bet as to what the results might be...), but it's going to be a hard sell. If you're planning to get this running in the summer, you might want to start the negotiations quite soon... -- - Andrew Gray [email protected] _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
