Hi,

I really like MediaWiki's watchlist, but it sucks if you don't have the time to use it every 30 days or x edits or don't like the edits partitioned by day (which is inconve- nient for both inter- and intra-day use).

So, the natural idea would be to extract the list of watched pages, feed them to a local database, then, from time to time, for every page find the last revision of the page prior to the last visit, find the current revision, execute a browser with the diff link if the two revisions are different and, on success, update the time of the last visit with the time of the current revision in the database (saving timestamps instead of revision numbers to deal with the possibility of deleted revisions).

Seems straightforward and not much work, but before I script it, is anyone aware of someone who has already done it? :-)

TIA, Tim
