Amir E. Aharoni, 15/09/2014 13:12: The English Wikipedia uses it for Articles for Deletion (AfD) and for a
lot
of other things. I tried to follow AfD for some time, and I had similar issues.
Issues which you still haven't described.
Seeing notifications about articles in the same watchlist with these notifications is already an issue.
Seeing only the last "support" or "oppose" notification, and having to go to the page to see the current state of affairs (yes, I know it's not a vote). The alternative would be to set watchlist to show all changes and not just the last one, but then it would show one row per change or a group of rows per page, and that would make it even more cluttered.
Seeing the adding of new pages, archival of old discussions and discussions of pages in the same way. Archival I don't want to see at all. The action of adding a page and making a comment about a page should look different, but in the current watchlist they are the same. Subpagination doesn't really help with that.
These are issues that are familiar to all of us. We are accustomed to them, but it doesn't mean that the condition is good.
