I thought that the time-limit configurability might be available, but it is of value only for some of our content, specifically, content in language sections for languages with few contributors. A roughly right implementation of language-section watchlists would be so much better than the nothing that we have now that I am interested in any gadgetry that might accomplish it. en.wikt has some JS and Lua capability, but has lost some veteran technical contributors. All of our technical contributors are aware of the problem, so there are probably difficulties that I couldn't understand well enough to ever communicate them here. Perhaps there is some cleverness that can overcome the problem. I -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
