Dear all,
The GlobalWatchlist extension[1][2] is now deployed on testwiki. If you're interested, feel free to try it out.[3] It will be deployed to metawiki on Thursday[4] for general use.
I developed the extension to replace a user script I wrote[5], funded through a grant from the WMF[6], and the deployment to meta follows 8 months of work on the extension, and an additional year of work on the script.[7]
Please report any bugs found on phabricator.
Thanks, -DannyS712
