Hey folks :)
I have a watchlist with a bunch of articles/items on Wikidata and German and English Wikipedia and Wikivoyage. There isn't much of an overlap though and I'd especially like to watch all articles for the items on my Wikidata watchlist also on Wikipedia. Does a tool already exist that syncs watchlists across our wikis? And if not is anyone here up for doing that? Maybe using OAuth?
Cheers Lydia

I saw such a tool, but unfortunately do not remember it any more. It was an external solution, the way authentication was also a problem, AFAIK. There is a discussion going on, you can find more on [[w:en:Wikipedia:Global watchlist]].
Cheers

This is a bit different though from Global Watchlist I think. What it'll give us is one watchlist that will show us changes from all watched articles across all wikis, right? What I'm thinking of is this: I am watching the item on Berlin on Wikidata. I then want this tool to also add the articles for Berlin on German and English language Wikipedia and Wikivoyage to my watchlist without me having to do this manually. Changes on all of them would then show up on my future Global Watchlist.
Cheers Lydia

Right, this is about integrating all watchlist over different wikis.

Ah, sorry, missunderstood you first.

Lydia,

I don't think such a tool exists yet.

Yeah it seems so. Any takers? Seems like a nice weekend project.
