Change my default filters

Hello!

First off, the filters are brilliant! Nice work. However, it seems like there is no option to set the ones I want as default. For example, I am usinf the filters when navigating throughh recent changes page on the Simple English Wikipedia. I removed the "human-only" filter from the list so that I could see bot edits, and I want to keep it like that. However, every time I click on "recent changes" in the sidebar, the filters always get reset to the default options, and I want them to stay like this. While I understand this may not be possible at such an early stage, I really hope we can put some degree of customization into it.

Thank you for considering my suggestion!

Regards, SGG

Hi @Some Gadget Geek,

Thanks for your interest in the project and your positive feedback. Since reviewing is a recurrent activity, your suggestion makes perfect sense as a way to save users time.

We have a ticket to discuss ideas in this area.There you can see more details on our current thoughts, track the progress and provide any input.

For now, you can use the browser bookmarking system. Since the URL is updated every time a filter is applied, you can bookmark the page with a specific set of filters. I hope this workaround is helpful until more specific features are available.
