TMg <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #49 from TMg <[email protected]> --- I strongly *not* support this. The extended stuff is a gadget for power-users. That's why it's called "extended". Power-users don't have a problem with editing their preferences. There is no need to make this the default. Change your preferences but don't force all other users to use the same preferences as you do. Most users are not like you. The extended script is very slow on older computers. It adds slow and time-wasting animations instead of loading instantly. It adds a lot additional dependencies. It does not work well with JavaScript disabled, for example. You will see a huge page with many duplicate entries. This renders the page almost useless. Most important: It's not possible to enable it without also changing the watchlist. The extended watchlist is bogus and useless, in my opinion. It has more bugs than the regular watchlist. On the regular watchlist an article is hidden when I made an edit. On the extended watchlist my own edit is hidden but the previous edits are not. This is confusing. I can't see if I added an answer to a discussion or not. The same discussion is shown forever not matter if I added an answer or not. It's not true that "most users" are using the extended watchlist. Most users use the regular watchlist. I know multiple users that tried the extended watchlist and disabled it because it was worse. But even if a significant amount of users had enabled the extended watchlist, what's the problem then? These peopel are happy with their extended watchlist. Everybody else is happy with the regular watchlist. No need to change the preference of everybody else. Also it's simply not possible to change something like this without asking the community. It does not matter how many users here in the bugtracker want to change this. This is a bugtracker. Only power-users know about this discussion. Start a RFC ("Meinungsbild" in the German Wikipedia) and ask the community first if you want to change a preference for all users. Please close this bug as "WONTFIX". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
