Problem: Marking a page for the watchlist automatically marks both, content page and discussion. For a limited number of pages, for example the village pump, this could mean a considerable number of changes popping up on the watchlist, and a considerable number of emails received, many of them with toxic or less interesting content. Other situations may exist, where someone wants to follow the discussion only.
Who would benefit: Anybody who is interested in watching a content page, but wants to avoid notification of the discussion (or the other way round).
Proposed solution: A button or another way to switch off the mark for an individual discussion page, while leaving it intact on the content page (or the other way round).
Support Adding this with an opt/in option; to allow the system to act normally, or have the option to flag one page or the other for watching. Lostinlodos (talk) 01:09, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
