Bug ID: 49483
Summary: Heavy contributors can't edit watchlist
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Watchlist
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
English Wiktionary has a high ratio or article to patrolers, a problem possibly
shared with other Wiktionaries. Regular contributors alleviate the burden on
patrolers by watching articles they edit. If they do so by default, their
total pages watched can exceed 22K, which seems to be a point at which most
users experience timeout on trying to load even the raw watchlist. A user
recently reported having more than 150K items on his watchlist, another 55K. I
exceeded 24K, before resorting to drastic measures to bring the total down.
Would it be possible to allow the watchlist to be exported for offline revision
and then for the revised version to be imported? I could understand the need
for some kind of hard limit on the size of such imports or on the total number
of pages watched to prevent abuse of importing.
