Summary: Watchlist: Say what "time period" you are talking about
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: Normal
Component: Watchlist
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Gentlemen, visit your personal Special:Watchlist&days=0
Consider these two cases:
A) you see the message
None of your watched items were edited in the time period
displayed.
or B) some results are displayed.
In both cases the user _has no idea_ of what the period you are
displaying is.
You must tell him just far back in time you are reporting from!
Consider the Unix last(1) command.
$ last

Here it says that the reporting period starts at Mar 3.
That way we know if we are looking back a week, or a month, or a year.
Please do likewise.
By the way, other Special pages have similar problems: Bug #17750.
