Suggestion

Hello again. I have a suggestion that might make using this watchlist a bit more comfortable: how about adding a redirect

#REDIRECT [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Estonia/publicwatchlist]]

to the top of the page. That way the massive list of links won't be shown and the user will be directed to the right place instead. The watchlist will continue functioning normally – I tested this in my sandbox. What do you think? —Quibik (talk) 11:14, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It definitely can be done, however, for what reason? I don't think anyone uses it to see all the articles or changes in them - it is only meant to be used together with this script. If there is a need to use it in any other way, it might be better to create Wikipedia:WikiProject Estonia/watchlist with content {{Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Estonia/publicwatchlist}}. --Sander Säde 16:46, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I forgot about the watchlist script, sorry. I've been using this list with the Special:RecentChangesLinked rather than with the script because I did not like having my personal watchlist being overwhelmed by it. I agree that this proposal isn't particularly important, I just thought it might make it less confusing to use to anyone who stumbles upon the watchlist for the first time (for example from the Category:Public watchlists) and is not aware of your script or the Special:RecentChangesLinked. The method suggested by you would probably be better indeed, though it would strip the user from the display options (number of items listed, minor edits shown, etc), but adding a link to the recent changes page would probably resolve that. Anyway, if you're not particularly exited by the idea, then feel free to ignore all this. After all, I just offered this as an idea for improvement, but I have no actual personal need for this. —Quibik (talk) 17:39, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
