Would it be possible to follow the lead of many

the two-step phase "The page ... has been removed from your

page has been removed from your watchlist"?
I imagine the mechanism would be something like what happens when you
click a redirect (as we were discussing recently): The target of the
redirect is shown, but with some added text explaining where you came
from.
From the UI perspective, yes. From the backend
perspective...well...
This would apply to at least these actions:
* Watch
* Unwatch
* Move
Disagree with moves; users need to be more aware of what needs to
happen as a consequence of moving large pages, and the screen full of
information that appears after a move is the best place for it.
Something similar could be done when saving an edit, adding text like
"Your edit has been saved."
Might be a nice bit of visual confirmation, although it requires a
change to how we handle the process; right now, we issue a redirect
and make the user re-request the page.
Any takers? Should I bugzilla this asa formal feature
requset?
Yes.
