Random proposal ►◄ Archive The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Redesign the watchlist

N Functionality exists

Problem: The Watchlist is a very important page for a wikipedian. This is my default page. Yet, the user experience is quite bad. Typically I've a list of changes in chronological order. I have to click on each change, review the change, come back to the watch list and so on.
Proposed solution: First I think it would be useful to sort the watchlist by page first and chronological order second. This means grouping together changes in the same page which I haven't visited yet. Then it would be great to go easily to next change in my watchlist without coming back to the watchlist page. Just swipe left or right on the mobile or something easy using a desktop. This would make the reviewing process much easier.
Who would benefit: All wikipedians looking at their watchlist.

A more descriptive title would be nice. T53958 is a similar request. --Tgr (talk) 07:02, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
sort the watchlist by page first and chronological order second How is this different from the existing grouping interface ("Group changes by page in recent changes and watchlist")? Nardog (talk) 17:34, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@PAC2: A few things that you may not be aware of that could assist you: In your recent changes preferences, there is an option called "Group changes by page in recent changes and watchlist". Also in your watchlist preferences, you can set the option "Expand watchlist to show all changes, not just the most recent". Between these two, it does a decent job at grouping changes. Another trick is to use the Popups gadget, which I see is available on French Wikipedia. Using this gadget, you can see diffs without having to leave the watchlist (though it does not mark the pages as visited). Do these tips help you?
As currently written, "Redesign the watchlist" is too vague of an ask. I want to first make sure the existing solutions aren't working for you, and find a way to trim down this proposal so that it is small enough for our team to work on.

Thanks for your answer. I was unaware of all those tips. I'll try them. So maybe my suggestion is not relevant. PAC2 (talk) 06:43, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. It seems great. PAC2 (talk) 06:19, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@PAC2: Did the tips above help with the problem in this proposal? We reviewed this proposal and we are considering archiving it. Is is okay if we proceed with archiving it? Thank you! HMonroy (WMF) (talk) 21:17, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you can archive it. PAC2 (talk) 07:55, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Proposer agree that this can be archived after learning about tips for watchlist preferences. HMonroy (WMF) (talk) 00:29, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
