Summary: API read/reset of watchlist's wl_notificationtimestamp
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: easy
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: API
AssignedTo: roan.katt...@gmail.com
ReportedBy: mk45...@gmail.com
CC: bryan.tongm...@gmail.com, vasi...@gmail.com
There is currently no read/reset access to the watchlist timestamp. This
timestamp could be used for something like an update marker:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Email_notification#Update_marker
Adding this as an API feature would save editors with large watchlists from
having to scan through to the last thing they checked. It would also allow
editors to save certain watched items for later evaluation. This would save
much time and hassle.
The relevant API calls may be:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Watch
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query_-_Lists#watchlist_.2F_wl
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query_-_Meta#userinfo_.2F_ui
Adding a param to edit-watch that sets the time (if blank sets to the current
time) and lastchecked as a returned field in the watchlist list would resolve
this issue.
