Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Notifications, Watchlists and Talk Pages/Allow going beyond the first page on RecentChanges/Watchlist ("older n")/Proposal

  • Problem: While you can increase the number of results on recent changes and the watchlist to see older changes, this results in slower page load and you have to scroll past the new ones.
  • Proposed solution: "(newer n) (older n)" links at the end of the results, like on history, contributions, etc.
  • Who would benefit: Editors
  • More comments: The query APIs (mw:API:RecentChanges, mw:API:Watchlist) already support "continue". It is weird that it is not possible in the user-facing interface.
