--- Comment #8 from mk <[email protected]> 2009-07-19 22:54:07 UTC --- At the enwiki VPR discussion for this feature (which, it should be noted, currently has 22 unanimous supporters), a couple of editors were concerned that making this feature immediately public might expose unwatched articles to vandalism, were the list subsequently shut down due to bugs. I don't think this is a problem - if even 1000 unwatched articles were edited during this time, editors would have little trouble watching all of them. But the concern deserves mention here. The discussion and straw poll: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Recent_unwatched_changes_straw_poll (In reply to comment #7) > I believe that would be the preferred scenario anyway: we want to know about > changes that weren't being watched when they were made, not before or after. > This is my view also. What steps would need to be taken to have this feature implemented? If someone were to try to create a patch, what files should they look at, what should they be aware of, and where should they begin? (Though this seems to be something for those familiar with the code, perhaps a few steps can be taken care of by others.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
