Hi Jan,

I believe that WMF Community Tech is working toward unifying watchlists across wikis. See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Cross-wiki_watchlist

I like the idea of time-limited watchlist items. You might propose that on Phabricator.

Regarding research (as opposed to enginerring), I am unaware of current research projects but I suggest that you check the archives of the Research Newsletter.

Dario or others may have more information.

Hello Research list,

Are you aware of research on the use of Watchlists on Wikipedia? There are is the wish in the German Community to improve watchlists (one suggestion is the ability to watch a page only for a certain amount of time) but I currently lack the data to find out about the needs behind that and other wishes.
