Thread:Talk:New editor engagement/Watchlists/reply (8)

I opposed only calling the bolding an experiment or the green stars an example. That was rather a typical example of how, when a bad change happens, the opposers rush to make it even worse, so that the uprise explodes and then there is too much blood around to think of reasonable solutions. If only nobody had touched the watchlist style for a couple days or a week at most, no green stars invasion would ever have happened, most bolding would have disappeared from the watchlists (because users visit pages) and everyone would have got used to it. This is what happened on all projects.
