User:Trizek (WMF)/New filters for Recent Changes/Announces/translate/en



Hello!

As you may already know, the Global Collaboration team has created a Beta feature. This feature is on your wiki since few months: "mw:Special:MyLanguage/Edit Review Improvements/New filters for edit review". You can activate it in your Beta preferences.

What is this feature again?

This feature improves Special:RecentChanges and Special:RecentChangesLinked. It adds new features that ease vandalism tracking and support of newcomers: You can know more about this project by visiting the quick tour help page.
 * Filtering - filter recent changes with easy-to-use and powerful filters combinations, including filtering by namespace or tagged edits.
 * Highlighting - add a colored background to the different changes you are monitoring. It helps quick identification of changes that matter to you.
 * Bookmarking to keep your favorite configurations of filters ready to be used.
 * Quality and Intent Filters - those filters use ORES predictions. They identify real vandalism or good faith intent contributions that need help.

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 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)
