''' What's new? '''

On September 5, the Beta feature will have a new option. Watchlists will have all features available now on the Beta Recent Changes improvements.

If you have already activated the Beta feature "", you have no action to take. If you haven't activated the Beta feature "" and you want to try the filters on Watchlists, please go to Beta>Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|your Beta preferences on September 6. It will not be possible to try the filters only on Recent Changes or only on Watchlist.

Please also note that later in September, some changes will happen on Recent Changes. We will release some features at the moment available in Beta as default features. This will impact all users, but we will provide an option to opt-out. I'll recontact you with a more precise schedule and all the details very soon.

You can ping me if you have questions.

All the best, Trizek (WMF) </>
