Re: SpecialWatchlist.php

I would like to suggest as soon as possible to revert the both changes of Avar and to return to the version Nr. 1.56 of SpecialWatchlist.php, which worked perfectly, even when the list was twice so long as before.

Reasoning:: ========= I also thought last year, when I developed Enotif, that dividing the "number of watched pages" and not showing talk pages on magic special watchlist was a solution - but it isn't. (comment code is still in the CVS some line above Avar's recent patch).

Please allow me to explain.

Within Enotif EVERY SINGLE page (article, talk and so on) ist treated separately. This is documented,see also [1]

This has the big advantage, that users can now separately watch (or unwatch) article and/or talk pages --> clicking onto "watch" always adds BOTH pages to the watchlist, but using special watchlist, one or the other can be removed now.

For this reason, simply not showing talk pages and dviding the number by 2 is _not_ a good solution. Therefore I asked the developer to return for a while to version 1.56 of SpecialWatchlist.php until a better solution (e.g. a two-column watchlist view) is implemented.
