I've had difficulties finding where the filters where, especially for the "patrolled edit", but I think I've got it right now...
would it be possible to "save" the filters instead of having to redo it every time ?
Otherwise, I find it very useful and efficient to find vandalism, as long as it is not in chinese or arabic... thank you for this tool :)
PS : would it be possible to also include a filter out for the languages that cannot be read at all in labels edition ?
Saving filters is a feature we are working on at the moment. It will be released very soon. I hope you will like it!
Can you clarify your post-scriptum? I'm not sure to understand the idea of filtering languages. We have possible improvements for multilangual wikis, to filter translated elements. Is it related?
Concerning the language filter...
yesterday and today, in my list of recent changes to check I had dozens of chinese labels and descriptions added..., but I cannot read chinese ;) - since the system automatically tags those as "description [zh]", "Added [ar] description", "Changed Hebrew label" etc... they should be able to track down.
would it then be possible to have a list of language codes (in prefs), where the descriptions, labels and alias added in those languages could be filtered out ? similar to the language codes ex-filtered in the Game, but on labels/desc/alias instead of links... :)
So you are active on Wikidata. :)
I understand you only want to filter languages you speak. I've completed a ticket we have about languages and translations.
yes, I was speaking of Wikidata of course... I did not realize it was a multiproject tool :D -
on wikidata there is a structural way to know which language labels/description/alias should be written in, unlike on other projects... and of course, that would not be useful on wp ;D
not sure the ticket was really understood by other contributors, though ;)
The ticket was on a narrower topic. I've expanded it with your feedback, because I think the language filtering will be done the same way for a wiki like Wikidata. There, if you select the (future) language filter, you will be able to see both translations of doc pages and a label change in an item.
Hi @Hsarrazin. Re. your request to save filers, the simple answer is yes! Making users re-establish all their settings every time they use the page is a waste of time. In addition, we want to let you define default settings, so the page will be ready to go when you load it (and also, so we can get rid of the current, clumsy system that forces you to set RC Page defaults on the Preferences page). This new "Save Quick links" feature should be released to the beta within the next couple of weeks.
I'm not sure I understand about the languages. And what is "labels edition"? Can you say more about that?
Thanks for the very good news on saving the filters :))
as for "labels edition" -> edition of labels/desc/alias (see above my answer to Trizek) :)
