Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #18 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> --- This request has a bunch of different interpretations of varrying difficulty: *when you hit watch on a category all articles in the category are added to your watchlist. This is a one time event. If someone later removes an article from the category it does not get removed from your watchlist. Ditto for adding. This is not that difficult and is doable in gsoc. In fact it might be too short. However one would have to be careful about big cats. Unprintworthy redirects has over a million entries. We already have problems with watchlists exploding when they get too big. Combining such a project with tools to prune your watchlist when it gets too big might makr a good project. (Someone more familar with watchlists would probably be better at saying if scope is appropriate than I could) Possible interface might be better as a add-all-things from cat foo box on special:watchlist rather than associating with watching the category. *the previous one+watch subcats. If that's taken as all subcats of all subcats I cab say right now that's a wontfix. Doing just one level maybe ok, but I would still be hesitant. *add a cat to watchlist all things in cat are in watchlist. If something is added to cat it gets added to your watchlist Its unclear how to do this (in a good fashion). I would not reccomend this to a student. However if a student is particularly interested tell them to post a detailed implementation plan on this bug so we could judge its feasibility. *previous point + noting removals and additions to the category. Probably what is truley wanted, but even more difficult than previous point. Noting category additions/removals is rather independant issue and essentialy bug 7148 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
