--- Comment #21 from Dennis C. During <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #20) > Could we edit the watchlist per namespace? > > This would facilitate the clenup a lot (notably it's true that the main space > has little interest for the watchlist, when we expect to follow more sensible > things like templates, modules, personal pages, and some specialized > subproject > pages with few contributors (mostly technical edits there, not much editorial > info there when most useful info should go to the main articles). > > In the main namespaces, some pages may still be followed: pages constaining > lists, or pages detailing some formulas, or containing data (but most data > should go now to Wikidata, and is more easily watched using its relational > features, acting like complex categories with multiple search axis). > > We have other tools for monitoring the main namespace, notably the QA > evaluation tools. This is seems to be an exclusively WP-oriented comment. At English Wiktionary we have vandalism problems and difficulties with PoV-pushing editors which we address in part by having large watchlists, eg, as many as 150K pages, most of which are principal namespace. If we had tools such as language-section-specific "recent changes" and could look back a year or more rather than 30 days on such language-section-specific recent changes we could also be dismissive of the expressed concerns. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
