Thank you very much, Catrope!
This is indeed very helpful for people who are mostly active on one wiki,
but want to check meta and commons every now and then, too.
One dream is fulfilled. The, next, to be able to have wikidata items in the
watchlist of my home wiki (=bgwiki) is in line.
Best regards,

I've enjoyed finding some messages I never
knew were there, such as a
welcome message from two years ago on Basque Wikipedia, and a substantive
reply I had missed on Wikinews for 4 months. It's refreshing for a new
feature to make me immediately feel more connected to other volunteers.
Well done!
