True, 'extendwatchlist' only affects > watchlist, but how is that an argument against turning it on? It isn't. I'm just saying that usenewrc does not "look silly" without extendwatchlist: it works perfectly. > > > 2) one may prefer the bullet view for Special:Watchlist even with a single > > change per page shown. > > Oh come on, this is just silly. Options for the sole purpose of changing a > minimal element of interface shouldn't exist. And usenewrc is not one such option. But this is just nitpicking on the language of comment 0... the point is, I don't understand what you want to achieve by merging extendwatchlist into usenewrc, could you elaborate on what's the use case? Note that extendwatchlist also has its own downsides, in particular it activates wllimit i.e. it limits the number of days you can see. On mediawiki.org, it reduces my Special:Watchlist from 30 to 7 days; on en.wiki, to 5 days (and that's after I've increased wllimit to 1000, which is the max, and removed some very active pages). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
