Bug ID: 67799
Summary: Mobile watchlist should follow the same Show/Hide
preferences as the desktop watchlist

In desktop, users can fine tune their watchlist by showing / hiding minor
edits, bots, etc.
EXPECTED
The mobile watchlist follows the same preferences. Desktop and mobile
watchlists contain the same items.
ACTUALLY
When the same users use the mobile watchlist, their preferences are ignored.
This is problematic per se, but it is even more problematic in mobile because
the limitations of the UI make excessive results more evident.
For instance, I only hide edits made by bots in order to focus on reviewing in
changes made by humans. In mobile I do see the edits done by bots, cluttering
my list and forcing me to scroll through items I don't care about. Sometimes a
bot goes through dozes of pages I'm watching, and the edits made by bots will
fill most of the mobile watchlist, which has a limited length, not allowing me
to see relevant changes made just a few hours ago.
NOTE
The UI for changing the watchlist preferences available in mobile is out of
scope in this report. It is fine to have them only in desktop, as long as they
are followed in mobile as well.
