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

version published on 21 June. I began work on the grant on 10 June 2020.
