Actually I don't use the on-wiki watchlist. I have them emailed to me. This means I can process every one of them and not miss any. I send these emails all to a particular folder and, when I process them, I do take advantage of the search capabilities of Gmail to group the notification emails and process those together. For example, when I notice a bot or user is making a large number of similar unproblematic changes to a large group of articles, I will often filter on that user and delete all their notification messages rather than check each article. However generally the emails do not contain enough information to filter in some of the ways being mentioned here. If that info was in the notification email, one could achieve similar filtering on email messages. So I would love to see a bit more info added to the emails for that purpose.

Hi Kerry, The short answer is yes! the Collaboration Team is working now to extend the new user interface so that it includes all the existing features on the Recent Changes page, Watchlist and a few related pages—along with some new tools users are requesting. We’re doing user testing right now of this extended functionality (which includes things like Namespace filters, Tag filters, User filters and, possibly, a Category filter). When we have it all working the way it should, we plan to bring the new UI and tools to Watchlist. This should happen in the next few months.

However, it is also already possible to add a "On [my] watchlist" filter or highlight, to the results on the recent changes page. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?hidebots=1&hidecateg... or https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?hidebots=1&hidecat...

Further details are in the main documentation at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Edit_Review_Improvements and pages linked in the side-navbox.

Feedback appreciated at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Edit_Review_Improvements/New_filters_for...

Cheers,

I'd like to highlight two videos (some people may have already seen these) that demo upcoming changes to edit review / RC patrol that take advantage of ORES. I feel that that the changes look promising, and I hope that RC patrollers, Teahouse hosts, newbie adopters, and others will find that the changes make their work easier. I also hope for improved retention of good-faith contributors.
