Topic on Talk:Edit Review Improvements/New filters for edit review

I just got invited to try the feature on Wikidata, but no filter I expected to be there could be found:

• I typed "item" and expected to get a filter for changes made in the main namespace.
• I typed "property" and expected to get a filter for the Property:… namespace.
• When scrolling through the list of filters it appears like there is no possibility to filter by namespaces at all. I'm aware the old namespace selection is still there, below the new filter box. It took me a while to notice and understand these two work together somehow, even if I can't fully predict how (e.g. it seems like the old namespace filter reloads the page, while the new filters don't). I assume other users might run into the same confusion.
• I typed "redir" and expected to get a filter for changes in which redirects are involved.
• In general it seems the filters currently there are more about the quality of the edits, not about what is actually edited. This would be especially useful on Wikidata where it is possible to distinguish between edits made to a label, a sitelink, a statement, or terms in a specific language. All these might be extremely handy, but I understand they are specific to Wikidata and can't come out of the box but must be created later, probably even by the Wikidata team.

Hi @Thiemo Mättig (WMDE). We incorporated all the Recent Changes page Hide/Show filters in the first round of the beta release—and added a number of new filters, as you saw. We're working now to incorporate the remaining RC page functionality into the new interface, including the Tag and Namespace filters, the number of items displayed selector and the time period selector.

Switching Tags and Namespaces into the new UI will give you some added capabilities, like the ability to include/exclude multiple tags and multiple namespaces in your searches. We're doing user testing now on these features. Look for the additions in the next few months.

With the exception of redirect, which was probably an oversight, most of those filters are available:

The rest (e.g. namespace) seem to be under development (and were deliberately not implemented in the first version):

Some of these seem to have always been available for years using url hacks, or the API, even unregistered users such as myself can access them...

We've added a number of new filter groups, like the Experience Level filters and the two AI-powered groups, Quality Predictions and User Intent Predictions. There are also a number of filters new to RC Page, like Watchlisted Pages and Last Revision. There's significant value just in putting all the filters in one place, plus the new UX in itself provides additional functionality compared to the old hide/show filters. E.g., you now have more control over exactly which qualities you want to include or exclude. But you're right that the bulk of the filters in the new user interface existed before, in one place or another.

We'll be working to add new functions to the page and to the new UI over the next few months. See our task list for the project here. Please let us know on this page if you have any good ideas for more new stuff.
